Tanjung Rhu Beach (Pantai Tanjung Rhu)
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon avoids the midday heat and gives softer, more photogenic light. Dry season from December to April usually offers the calmest sea conditions for swimming and boat views.
Budget tips
Public access to the beach is free, though some parking areas or nearby resorts may charge; carry small change. Bring your own water and snacks to avoid resort prices, and join a shared mangrove or island tour to split transport costs.
Recommended for
Photography enthusiasts, Couples, Nature lovers, Beach relaxers

About
Fatti rapidi: Powder-white sand stretches roughly 700 metres along the shoreline, wide enough at low tide for long walks past tidal pools full of hermit crabs and shorebirds. Jagged limestone towers rise from shallow waters, creating photogenic silhouettes that glow pink and gold during sunrise and sunset.
Punti salienti: Listen for the hollow clack of wooden paddles as tiny boats, usually carrying no more than 12 people, thread between sculpted karst islands where guides whisper about a freshwater spring hidden behind a collapsed cave. Nighttime winds bring the smell of mangrove sap and the sand stays cool and slightly salty underfoot, so a moonlit stroll often feels unexpectedly serene and cinematic.
Insider tips
- Arrive before 9am to beat crowds and capture the limestone cliffs in soft morning light.
- Position for photos near the rocky outcrops at low tide for dramatic foregrounds.
- Wear reef-safe sunscreen and light cover-ups, as shade is limited on the sand.
- Skip resort cafes to save money, instead pack picnic supplies and use public parking options.
