Layang-layangan beach: Layang-Layangan Beach is set to undergo a revitalisation project aimed at enhancing its appeal and boosting local tourism, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories), Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa. She stated that a development plan is currently being drafted to rejuvenate the beach, which is renowned for its stunning sunset views, weekend family outings, and seasonal kite festivals.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the redevelopment of Layang-Layangan Beach is part of a broader commitment to upgrade and add value to Labuan’s tourism destinations. Dr Zaliha shared these plans after welcoming travellers from Kota Kinabalu at the Labuan International Ferry Terminal.

The project, still in the planning stage, aims to regain the popularity of the beach and make it more attractive for both locals and tourists. The facelift is expected to improve the visitor experience and benefit local hawkers operating in the area. The initiative will create a better environment for small traders and food vendors, contributing to the improvement of the local economy.

Dr Zaliha highlighted the federal government’s commitment to strengthening Labuan’s tourism potential. The government plans to continue identifying and developing attraction sites across the island to support Labuan’s positioning as a vibrant tourism hub. The planned upgrade for Layang-Layangan Beach will include improved amenities, beautification works, and enhanced public facilities to accommodate the growing number of beachgoers.

The redevelopment efforts are part of Labuan Corporation’s ongoing tourism enhancement programme under the purview of the Department of Federal Territories.
