Melawai Beach

Melawai Beach is a popular waterfront spot in central Balikpapan, best known for its sunset views over the Makassar Strait. More of an urban seaside promenade than a swimming beach, it attracts visitors with sea breezes, casual food stalls, and a lively local atmosphere in the late afternoon and evening. Its easy access makes it a convenient stop for travelers who want a relaxed coastal walk, simple street food, and a glimpse of everyday life in the city.
