Labuan War Cemetery

Located at the Jalan Tanjung Batu, about 10 mins away from the main town, Labuan World War II Memorial serves as a respectful remembrance of many unknown Australian, Indian, Malaysian and British soldiers that lost their lives defending the island against Japanese invasion. A calm, peaceful and well-maintained area with numerous graves, it also happens to be Malaysia’s largest war graveyard.

Labuan's Chimney

The Labuan Chimney was built in the early 1900s and is a remnant of the island’s coal mining era. The 32-metre-tall chimney is made from unplastered red bricks imported from Great Britain, and there also is a museum on site. The adjoining Chimney Museum showcases Labuan’s history of coal mining and also has exhibits on the chimney itself. The museum also houses over 600 exhibits excavated from around the site of the chimney. The Labuan Chimney is popular among photographers. Read More

Situated towards Labaun’s northeast, the soft, white sands of Layang-Layangan Beach face the South China Sea. Though the waters are calm, seaweeds on the seabed make it unsuitable for diving or swimming. Instead, you can sunbathe on the clean beach, take banana boat rides, buy satay from beachside vendors, and enjoy unobstructed views of sunsets on the sea. There also is a jogging track right next to the beach, a Peace Park and a Surrender Point built by the Japanese to honour their soldiers. The beach is a 20-minute taxi ride away from the town of Labuan. Read More

Pohon Batu Beach is a great place to escape from the hecticness of life in Labuan. On the beach is a sandy park with human-made obstacles to make for a challenging yet fun experience.

A 5-minute boat ride from Labuan Jetty, the islet of Papan (Pulau Papan) is a great place to unwind, whether you’re out with friends or with family. The clear waters of the island make it an excellent spot for snorkelling and exploring the diverse reef life, while tourists often fly kites and build sandcastles on the sandy shores. Tropical evergreen forests cover most of the island, and hikers can try trekking through the lush green forests. There are numerous campsites across the islet, as well as a few chalets. Read More
