💡 Tips

  • Bring strong mosquito repellent, as mosquitoes are very active near the beach after sunset.
  • Expect to pay a small entry fee (around RM 2) for parking and beach access.
  • Pre-book your return trip to Kuching, as finding a Grab ride back can be difficult in this area.
  • Check the tide times before heading out, as the water recedes quite far at low tide.
  • As this is a traditional Malay village, please dress modestly when walking through the community.
