Pantai Puteri is a coastal stretch located near the Santubong Peninsula, offering views of the South China Sea and the iconic Mount Santubong. The beach is characterized by its relatively calm waters and natural sandy shoreline, positioned away from the dense urban center of Kuching. It serves as a local recreational area for those visiting the northern coast of Sarawak. The site is accessible via the coastal road network passing through the Santubong region. Visitors frequently use this location for seaside picnics and observing the tidal changes of the coastline.
