Malaysia Tourism

Nestled near the South China Sea, Tanjung Jara Beach has a prominent stretch of golden sand, with powerful waves striking its shores. Catch the sunrise or sunset with the winds whipping in your face, albeit with a gentle breeze.

The beach provides an excellent location for windsurfing, boating, kayaking, snorkelling and diving.

Turtles also frequent the beach during the 'turtle laying season' from the months of May to September.

The silence here is a welcoming treat, and makes for a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Key Tips
Go along for a "turtle watch" at night between May and September when the turtles visit the beach to lay eggs.
