Very nice and not crowded beach, with a beautiful view. We went few times and only once there was a strong current. Other times it was no waves and no current so could swim easily. Jet ski rides directed to ride very far from the beach so it doesn’t affect the swimmer compared to other beaches. There is a burger place on the beach that I would not recommend, food was really bad and fresh fruit juices was very diluted with water to the point you can’t even tell it’s a juice 🤣

Tanjung Rhu Beach is very clean and peaceful. The water is clear, and the view is beautiful. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy nature. But most of the shops nearby are closed, and there’s not much vibe or crowd. It feels a bit too quiet. Still, it’s a lovely spot if you’re looking for a calm beach away from the busy areas.

Very nice beach with beautiful views and on this side of the island the waves were not that high, which was nice for the children. The view from this place is fantastic and you can also enjoy something to eat and/or have a drink near the beach. Please note: buy a mat for your beach towel, as it is difficult to remove the needles from the trees.
