Kelambu Island and Tombolo (Borneo)

Kelambu is a Tied Island covered by rain forest, connected to land by a narrow shoal of white sand called a tombolo. On each side, two beautiful desert beaches and very calm, blue sea water. Here is the view from the Kelambu island.

It really looks like paradise, except for all the plastic trash.

Kelambu is truly a beautiful secluded beach, hard to reach and far away for the nearest village. I decided to spend one night on that desert beach.
