Tanjung Batu Beach

Tanjung Batu Beach is a coastal attraction located in Tanjung Batu village, Pemangkat District, Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Situated on the northwest coast of Borneo facing the Natuna Sea, it is known for its sandy shoreline interspersed with large rock formations and boulders that give the beach its name. The beach is a popular local recreation area for swimming, fishing and sunset viewing, and serves as an anchorage for traditional fishing boats.

Visitors can expect a sandy beach with scattered large boulders and rocky outcrops along the shoreline and in shallow water. The setting is open to the Natuna Sea with views of fishing boats anchored near the coast and a relatively calm, developed waterfront with food stalls and seating areas. Areas to explore include the main sandy stretch, rocky sections for photography, and viewpoints for sunset. The atmosphere is that of a local community beach rather than a resort beach.

The beach is closely associated with the fishing community of Pemangkat, one of the main fishing centers in Sambas Regency. Traditional fishing boats anchor along the coast and the beach functions as a communal recreation and gathering space for local residents.
