Tanjung Tokong Public Beach

The Tanjung Tokong Public Beach is the stretch of coastline that belongs to the historic fishing village of Tanjung Tokong. This beach offers a fascinating glimpse into the living heritage of one of the earliest Chinese settlements on the island. The beach is home to the venerable Tua Pek Kong Temple, which predates the arrival of the British, and it remains the heart of the local fishing community. From the beach, you can see the traditional fishing boats, or "sampans," and observe the daily life of the fishermen.

The beach also offers a unique view that juxtaposes the old with the new, as the modern high-rises of the Seri Tanjung Pinang development can be seen in the distance. It's a place rich in history and local character.
