NEIGHBOURHOOD
Ruko Bandar
(Jl Sudirman)
This excellent waterfront development offers everything you need for a
night out and more, including above-par restaurants, hot nightclubs, and a dozen fun but
easy-to-miss cafes (at the rear, facing the sea). Make this your first stop.
Kemala Beach
(Jl Sudirman)
A beach in Kalimantan! Yes, and it's clean, with good sand, plenty of adja-
cent bars and a laid-back vibe. If you need a break from the jungle, urban or natural, this
is your best local option, although it gets hot at midday.
BEACH
Masjid Agung At-Taqwa
(Jl Sudirman)
An impressive sight, this mosque is adorned with a complex sheath of
Islamic geometrical patterns and lit up in multicoloured splendour at night.
