Okuma Beach

Reviewed By g0_f0r_it - Singapore, Singapore

We managed to locate the public area of the beach quite easily on our drive north towards Cape Hedo from Cape Manzamo. We simply parked at some parking lots along the road, walked up a few steps and there was the beautiful beach, free for all to enjoy but with few people in sight. There was no public toilet though. There were plenty of dead corals washed up on the sand. It is such a lovely beach that we ended up spending too much time there and missed going to Dai Sekirinzan Park which closes at 4pm.

Daisekirinzan

Reviewed By JulianaChuasl - Singapore, Singapore

Daisenkirinzan - a forested nature park with fantastic geological formations is a great place for children and adults to be free-spirited; allowing creativity to see what you want to see in the amazing rock formations. There are natural formations that look like a cat, a T-Rex, a gorilla, a crocodile; a place where you see what your eyes want you to see. The trails are clearly marked and easy to walk. There are thoughtful gestures like walking sticks/wooden staff and umbrellas provided by the park. The stone museum at the end of the walk is well curated and informative. The best part of this museum is that you can touch the exhibits.
