Kei Kecil's Serene Northern Shore
Ngursarnadan Beach, located on Kei Kecil's northern coast, offers a tranquil escape with its pristine white sands, calm electric blue waters, and a quiet, unassuming charm. It's less frequented than some of the more famous southern beaches, providing a more private and peaceful experience. Ideal for those seeking relaxation, gentle swimming, and uninterrupted walks along a beautiful, unspoiled coastline.
Ngursarnadan Beach is accessible by scooter or car from Langgur or your accommodation (approximately 30-45 minutes). Roads are mostly paved to the general area, with some local paths to access the beachfront. Signage can be basic, offline maps recommended.
