Tanjung Batu is Bintulu's town beach — a long, casuarina-lined shore on the edge of the city where locals come to jog the esplanade, fly kites, and watch the sun drop into the South China Sea. Rocky outcrops (the 'batu' of the name) punctuate the sand and give the beach its character.
It pairs naturally with the neighbouring Taman Tumbina park on the hillside above — a small botanical-and-wildlife garden — making an easy, family-friendly half day on Bintulu's coast.
