Pantai Seri Kenangan

Brunei Darussalam


Set on a spit of land, with the South China Sea on one side and Sungai Tutong on the other, this casuarina-lined beach is arguably the best in Brunei, meaning powdery white sand only lightly sprinkled with plastic, and warm water to paddle in. Sandflies can be a problem around sunset, so be sure to bring repellent. The beach is 2km west of Tutong town.
