Pandan Beach Lundu Sarawak




Lundu is a town located in the Northwest of Kuching Division of SarawakMalaysia,and borders with Indonesian Province ofWest Kalimantan.


Little is known about the history of Lundu, But according to Dr.Otto Steinmeyer in his homepage, www.ikanlundu.com/lundu:
"As far as anyone knows, the lands around Lundu was empty of people until relatively recently. Although the main river is called Batang Kayan, "the Kayan river," there is no evidence at all that any Kayan people ever lived there.. In the middle of the eighteenth century a group of Bidayuh people from near Bau migrated and settled on the west bank of the Batang Kayan, where Kampong Stunggang Melayu now stands. They came to be called the Dayak Lundu, and though the last member of the tribe died in the 1960s, you can still see the grove of durian trees they planted. The name "Lundu" itself is taken from a small catfish that abounds in the Sungai Lundu which flows down from Gunung Gading."
Now, Lundu is under constant development, with more and more public infrastructures and other being built and proposed.

Pandan Beach is an idyllic stretch of beach untouched by commercialization located 20 minutes from the town of Lundu, Sarawak. Tourists staying by the beach will have the opportunity to witness daily activities of the villagers, from fishing to farming. You might be lucky to participate in seasonal fishing activities such as prawning and jelly fish 'scooping'.  Check out our Sea Cruise, Fishing & Crabbing activities for an unforgettable Borneo holiday experience.
