About Turtle Sanctuary Beach

Turtle Sanctuary Beach, located on Pulau Selingan, an island off the coast of Sabah in Borneo, Malaysia, is a sanctuary dedicated to the conservation of sea turtles. As part of the Turtle Islands Park, this beach plays a critical role in the protection of Green Sea Turtles and Hawksbill Turtles. The sanctuary offers a one-of-a-kind experience for those booking Malaysia tour packages focused on nature and wildlife. It is an excellent spot for travellers seeking to learn about turtle conservation while immersing themselves in the natural beauty of Malaysia.


Visitors can observe turtles coming ashore to nest and, during certain seasons, witness baby turtles hatching and making their way to the sea. The sanctuary ensures that the turtles’ nests are carefully protected, providing a safe environment for their eggs and the newly hatched turtles. Turtle Sanctuary Beach offers a blend of ecological awareness and breathtaking natural surroundings, making it a must-visit for eco-conscious travellers.
