I came here for the Borneo Jazz Festival so my experience is limited to the arrangements set up by the festival organisers (e.g. the compound is restricted to ticket holders, food and drinks stalls were dotted around but mainly centred at the Seahorse Stage) and this may not be the case under normal circumstances.
The main building/venue is a beautiful two-floors wooden building with ornate wood carvings throughout (I’ve been told they were done by Indonesian artists). It has a central mezzanine so those on the floor above could look down onto the stage. The top floor was set up with stalls selling local arts and crafts wares, a bar selling alcoholic beverages and also the VIP area. Overall, the design is spacious with high ceilings and open doorways to allow for a good airflow and keep the place cool.
The Seahorse Stage is an outdoor venue located just further along from the main venue (at the tip of this reclaimed parcel of land) and served beautifully as the backdrop to sunset performances (the Sarawak Symphony Orchestra did a fantastic job here!).
In general, it was pretty well kept and maintained and is certainly a great venue for the Borneo Jazz Festival.
Tip: This location offers stunning sunsets. Next to the public car park is a grassy knoll with benches to enjoy the spectacular views of the...

Read moreI went almost mid day on a Saturday, there were some people but not many. As you enter, stalls (weren't open then), carparks tracks for maybe, gokarts (it was closed then), a restaurant that was just opening but they already had the drinks for sale (photo has menu), bubble tea stall, some pop up stalls, the beautiful wooden structure but it was closed for a wedding, toilets, surau, the seahorse statue and there were 2 food truck also not opened and a whole row of pangkin (wooden platform that is segregated for a group per area).
There is no beach but rock revetment. The water is teh tarik as to be expected by the coast 😅.
The pangkins are under the Casaurina trees so it was shaded during mid day. But they are in need of some TLC. If you wanna sit there, bring some mats and you'd be pretty comfy.
Would definitely go back with some mats during mid day to read. Great place to unwind when it is...
