Penanjong Beach (Malay: Pantai Penanjong) is a beach in Kampong Penanjong, Pekan Tutong, Tutong, Brunei.[1][2] The beach is known for water sport activities and view of sunsets over the South China Sea.[3] It should also be noted that parts of the beach which stretches from Penanjong are located within a military base.[4]
An average of 8.7% heavy minerals such as quartz were found on the beach.[5][6] On 24 January 2020, Royal Brunei Land Forces (RBLF) servicemen from the nearby Penanjong Garrison carried out a cleaning campaign on the beach.[7]
