There's 4 side of the public beach. First is close to the Shangri La Tanjung Aru Resort & is quite popular for families to go for picnic, second is the main beach that has food stalls and are usually crowded, the third use to have some facilities but was recently demolished and the fourth is a more private spot. If you prefer the fourth beach just turn left from the main road before the roundabout and drive down the road until you see an airport runaway. That area is usually for folks enjoying a quite sunset and is popular for photographers to use as a wedding photoshoot amidst the rocky edges
