Tunku Abdul Rahman Park - Gaya Island (3,665
acres)
By far the largest of
the islands, Pulau Gaya has many secluded bays and sandy beaches, most of
which are unfrequented and un-named. Two are especially popular: Bulijong Bay or Police Beach is a semi-circular bay on the northern side of
Gaya, where it is possible to camp overnight. Camp Bay on Gaya's
southern side is the side of the former Park Headquarters and the starting
point for most of the trails on Gaya, though the bay itself is too shallow
for comfortable swimming. The forest trail system of 13 miles
covers most of the island, and an interesting boardwalk through a small
mangrove forest is only a few minutes from Camp Bay.
 If you are
looking for a quite and lazy day on a deserted beach then this will be a
great island to visit. Water at Police Beach is crystal clear, up to 50 feet
and it is a great place to dive and snorkel. Please remember to bring
your own food and drinks/swimming gear/snorkeling gear as none are
available on the island. Alternatively you can hire them from your tour
operator or your hotel before your trip.
