Chinese New Year Outing

Short Visit to Sematan and Lundu

Took a short drive to the tip of Sarawak, Sematan.

The last time we were here was back in 2017, more than 4 years ago.

Pan Borneo Highway from Bau to Sematan under Construction
The Pan Borneo Highway is still under construction, to be upgraded to a two-lane dual carriageway. Lots of diversions along the way but bearable.

Another stretch of the Pan Borneo Highway.

On our way to Pantai Pugu (Pugu Beach), we decided to take the short cut via the oil palm plantation. Took the wrong turn and lost our way for a while.

Road to Pantai Pugu - Jalan Pantai Pandan ke Kampung Belungei dan Pugu
Road to Pugu Beach, completed not long ago starts from Jalan Pantai Pandan to Kampung Belungei. Very quite with little traffic.

Road to Pantai Pugu
Direction to Pugu Beach at Kampung Pugu. Pugu Beach is about 8 km long from Bukit Gondol.

Some of the huts at Pantai Pugu
One of the resort/camping ground, privately operated at Pugu Beach. Didn't check so not sure about the entrance fee or other charges.
