Just park your car on the man made headland. Takes 30secs to walk from their. On big days, best to climb down the rocks to jump in behind the break, unless you feel like a struggle. It's also quite shallow and sometimes hard to duckdive etc. Watch out for the middle break on a good day - probably the best Brunei has to offer.
Atmosphere
Always a good time at this beach. Locals are always friendly and there for a good time. Beach BBQs, bonfires, etc are the way to go if you're there for the day.
General
All in all a decent place. Even if its flat, still a good place to be.
