Kuala Belait
POP 35,500
Almost on the Sarawak frontier, coastal Kuala Belait (KB) is a modern, sprawling com-
pany town - the company being Brunei Shell - of one-storey suburban villas interspersed
with grasshopper-like pump jacks. Although there's a reasonable beach, most travellers
just hustle through on their way to or from Miri.
Sleeping & Eating
In the town centre, restaurants can be found along Jln McKerron and, two short blocks
east, on parallel Jln Pretty, KB's main commercial avenue. Locals recommend the roast
duck.
