This is the Golden Beach, its situated It is located approximately 10 minutes drive away from the Telaga Air fishermen village, and about 35 minutes away drive from Kuching City The Satang Island can be view from the beach, I went to the Satang island before. Always plan to go back there agian, maybe a camping trip to the island. A nice place for picnic, or camping. The water mix with some mud, not very clean. A construction company plans to develop this place, to build villas here and sell to the public. It will be good to be able to own a house near the beach, just that this place is too far away from Kuching city.

Watch my Tanjung Datu Exploration Trip documentary: Day One, Boat Trip to Tanjung Datu, Borneo Sarawak I organised a trip to the Tanjung Datu National Park over the weekend, located at the south-western tip of Sarawak on the Datu Peninsula, Tanjung Datu is one of Sarawak’s less accessible natural parks, but its relative remoteness is one of its main attractions. This is the fishing boat that we use to go to Tanjung Datu, the captain is a Malay fisherman staying at Telok Melano. Reached the national park after 2 hours, I ate medicine before boarding the boat to prevent from getting seasick. The national park does not have wharf, so they use the small boat to send us to shore. Welcome to Tanjung Datu Park HQ, I register my team information here. the fees have to pay are: Entrance fees: RM10 per person Camping fees: RM5 per person to rent chalet: RM24.40 per night cooking utensils: RM11 per day Gas & stove: RM3 per day Very clean public
