Tanjung Jara Beach

Tanjung Jara beach is known for its long golden sandy beach, watching across the South China Sea is not only breathtaking, but also soul soothing. No wonder it's the popular destination for the local city folks to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The wide sand beach is suitable for beach activities with the children. Kayaking, wind surfing, boating is amongst the popular activities. Another popular activity in Tanjung Jara is turtle watching.
