Temajuk Beach

Temajuk Beach is a long sandy coastal attraction located in Temajuk Village, Paloh District, Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan, near the Indonesia-Malaysia border. It faces the Natuna Sea and is known for its extensive white-grey sand shoreline, relatively undeveloped natural setting, and proximity to the Garuda border monument. The beach is also associated with sea turtle conservation activities in the Paloh area and serves as a remote coastal destination in northern West Kalimantan.

Visitors can expect a long, wide sandy shoreline facing the Natuna Sea with open sea views, gentle to moderate waves, and a quiet, rural coastal environment. The area includes fishing boats, simple coastal settlements, and the nearby Garuda border monument marking the northern coastal border area. Facilities are basic with small food stalls and homestays. Activities center on beach walking, photography, swimming in calm conditions, and seasonal turtle-related observation in the broader Paloh coastline.

Temajuk is a coastal border village in northern Sambas that developed as a fishing settlement and later as a border community. The Garuda monument near the beach marks the coastal border area and has become a landmark for visitors to the northernmost beach in West Kalimantan.

The beach is part of a Malay fishing community with traditional coastal livelihoods. Local culture reflects Malay customs, fishing traditions, and community-based coastal conservation, including turtle protection activities along the Paloh coast.
