Tanah Kuning Beach in Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan Province


North Kalimantan is one of the newest provinces in Indonesia. Despite the fact, it has a superb collection of vacation spots for tourists to visit. Located near to Tarakan Island and Bulungan Regency, for example, there is Tanah Kuning Beach. To be exact, it resides in Tanah Kuning Village at Tanjung Palas Timur Sub-District. One thing that makes it a recommended tourist site is related to the serenity. The peaceful ambiance makes the beach suitable for relaxation and getting rid of stresses. Some people choose it as their best destination for getting away from daily busy routines.

The Nuance
As mentioned earlier, Tanah Kuning Beach is known for its serenity. Is that all? The next noticeable feature is related to the environment, which is both clean and neat. The exotic white sandy shoreline would astonish everyone. It even has a soft texture, so tourists can walk on the shoreline barefoot. Plus, the sea looks beautiful and has small waves. This explains why many people would enjoy swimming during the visit. Here is the tip. Everyone should consider visiting the beach at noon. It is because the sea looks more attractive due to the reflection of the sunray on the surface of the water! Despite the hot temperature, that view is quite worthy!

Exploring Tanah Kuning Beach
The best allure in Tanah Kuning Beach is none other than the exotic white sandy shoreline. The texture is soft, so it is suitable for beach walking. Tourists can even walk on it barefoot, as long as they come early in the morning. It is because the shoreline becomes hot and uncomfortable at noon due to the heat of the sun. Aside from beach walking, tourists can do other fun things on the shoreline including soccer beach. Thus, parents should carry their kids when visiting the beach later.

Tanah Kuning Beach has other allures including the sea scenery. Tourists can simply sit by the shoreline and enjoy the panorama. Those who love photography, they should carry a camera when heading to the beach. They can take great photos when exploring the site, after all. What about water sports? Swimming is possible, but tourists must avoid getting too far from the shoreline due to the bigger waves. For professional surfers, though, they would enjoy the activity well.

What is next? Aside from enjoying the beauty of Tanah Kuning Beach, visitors may meet friendly villagers as well. Some of them even welcome tourists passionately. It is because they live near to the site and often offer traditional foods freely to visitors. It is also recommended to come with a local guide, who helps outsiders to talk to villagers later.
