Tanjung Tinggi, Beach with granite rocks in Belitung, Indonesia

Tanjung Tinggi is a beach in Sijuk, Belitung, with white sand and hundreds of granite boulders on two peninsulas and in the sea in front. The granite ranges from a few cubic metres to blocks larger than a house. The beach forms an arc about 100 m across, and the name means peninsula of high rocks.

Tanjung Tinggi was also known as Pelabuhan Bilik, a fishing port for the nearby village of Keciput or Tanjung Tinggi. It later became a tourist destination on Belitung Island, and its granite shoreline was used as a filming location for the films Laskar Pelangi and Sang Pemimpi.

The beach gained attention as a filming location for two Indonesian films that showcased its natural landscape. This film connection brought the place recognition among visitors interested in exploring these cinematic settings.

The beach lies in Sijuk Sub-district, about 37 km from Tanjungpandan. Its arc-shaped cove is roughly 100 m across, with gentle waves and slow currents that make swimming possible. Jellyfish, especially large ones, are the only occasional hazard; sharks have not been recorded in Belitung. Food stalls and hotels are near the beach.

The beach curves into a distinctive arc shape with exceptionally stable water conditions where tidal changes are minimal. This combination of form and water conditions makes it particularly safe for swimming.
