Tg Lobang Beach ( as it was known in the 80s)

I used to sit on the top portion of this slanting slab of sandstone enjoying the golden yellow warm bath of the setting rays , the salty sea breeze & watching the whites of waves over a patch of rocky outcrops a short distance close to shore.

The slanting slab must have been 'sinking' over the years.. used to be able to walk right in the cave some 20 feet inwards . .. with overhead dripping water and even bats flying in and out.

To give you an idea of the size of the 'lubang' or 'hole' in the cliff.. the arrowed show a guy standing there. U can only walk there during low tide.

Sand stone.. see the thin crust brown iron oxide layer weathered and revealed the white harden sandstone
Poker-dotted with smooth rim holes .... water erosion.


Fossils of the burrows of yesteryears marine animal. A common finds over all Miri's sandstone as far inwards as the Canadian Hill.
