Fun little island off the coast of Labuan's waterfront that allows one to unwind amidst the sun, surf and beach. Camp on the beach, hike to the lighthouse, throw a frisbee, snorkel just off the shoreline, have a drink at the beach bar or spend a night at one of the chalets available, in a simple nomadic beachbum setting and you won't be disappointed!

Peace Park located on the west coast of Labuan, on Layang-Layangan Beach, was constructed by the Japanese Govt in 1972 as a memorial to all those who died during WWII, both civilians and military. Yes the Japanese were truly barbaric during the war, but by all accounts their own soldiers were treated terribly. Not making excuses for anyone, but maybe we should emphasize more on the "never again" aspect of these peace memorials, as opposed to continued recriminations to those who had acted terribly 75-80 years ago. This place has a strong sense of Peace and Harmony, highly recommended. The memorial itself is a large mound with arched walls and an inscription to peace in English, Malay and Japanese. The surrounding gardens are of Japanese design with ornamental lakes, gazebos and bridges. The plants, trees and flowers were wonderful and the whole place meticulously maintained. Next to the Peace Memorial is the Surrender Point Memorial where the Japanese Army of North Borneo unconditionally surrendered to the Allies in 1945. The Peace Park is located about 8 km from Labuan main town. There is no entry fee and has ample parking and toilet facilities.
