Tanjung Datu National Park
This National Park is located in the Kuching Division, at
the westernmost tip of Sarawak, near the Indonesian border.
Gazetted in 1994, it is Sarawak's latest addition to its string
of national Parks and also the smallest, covering an area
of only 1,379 hectares.
Situated in a mountainous region, the area features swift-flowing
rivers of crystal and clear waters. Its shoreline comprises
some of Sarawak's most beautiful beaches with sparkling sand
and seas of aquamarine glittering in the sun. The existence
of a coral shore also sets it apart from the other coastal
areas in Sarawak.
