Bintulu Town - The New Beach Road

Bintulu, originally a Melanau fishing village has sprung itself into Sarawak main industrial town and a principal deep sea port serving the oil, gas , timber industry and a gateway to many international liners.

It is well planned which is environmentally attractive under the administration of Bintulu Development Authority. With several mammoth multibillion ringgits projects of Federal owned, like the world's largest liquidified natual gas complex, the world's first middle distillate synthesis plant, the urea/ammonia plant, the power stations and the crude oil terminal, Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) as well as an overview of Sarawak's sole deep sea port, the Bintulu port harbour.

If one is a visitor to the town, you can watch all these places just from one location on the hilltop "industrial look out tower" in Tanjung Kidurong. At night, the lighting of the whole area is added fascinating spot which one will not miss. It gives a feeling as though you are watching the landing on an unidentified planet.

With the influx of more foreigners and pool of workers from different resources made Bintulu undergone rapid transformation with world hotels and budgets hotels, restaurants, eatery outlets, supermarkets and mall to it witnessing testaments. The Authority thus has planned 2012 to make Bintulu another City of Sarawak in its history. Hope this will materialize. Property market seems to increase vertically in the last 10 years economic cycle.

The new Beach Road which is parallel to the old Bintulu road to town has just opened for public use and is only a 30 mins walking distance from the MLNG Housing Area to the Tg. Batu Beach. This is now a hot spot for visitors and another scenic spot for joggers with one side of sea and the golf field on the opposite. At night it is even more facinating view from the strings of illuminating lights on the opposite end of the industrial sectors where one can only get it from the whole of Sarawak.
