Tanjung Bajau Beach
You step onto soft sand beneath towering casuarina trees, their whispers mixing with the calls of fishermen hauling nets. The water laps gently at this crescent bay north of Singkawang, where families spread mats beside beached wooden boats and the western sky begins its nightly performance in shades of tangerine and violet.
