This holiday treat is truly a jewel in hiding as even some local Sabahans have not even heard about it, as it is hidden within a mangrove forest with 8km long beach, which overlooks the tranquil South China Sea. It is a unique experience for visitors as they will get to experience the mysterious swamp atmosphere and also the sun and sand of the beach area.

There are thrilling banana boat rides, beach volley ball, kayaks(sampan), body surfing, fishing, prawn catching, blow pipes, survivor games and even sand castles building which are appreciated by families. Due to its unique geographical and environmental location of facing both the river and the sea, visitors will be able to enjoy and appreciate the activities available, either sporty or relaxing at KellyBays.
