Bintulu's seaside esplanade — casuarina shade, sunset walks and the town's favourite stretch of sand.

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.

The beach is essentially in town — about ten minutes from central Bintulu by car or ride-hailing, with parking along the esplanade. Bintulu itself is served by daily flights and the coastal trunk road.
