John Obey Beach
A tranquil long beach on the southwest coast of the peninsula, surrounded by coconut palms and seldom visited. It has an eco-lodge and a sea turtle conservation project, making it ideal for escaping the crowds.
John Obey Beach lies about 10 km south of the No. 2 River. Its sand stretches for several kilometers, backed by the forest of the Western Area Peninsula National Park. The local community runs a sea turtle nest protection program, and in peak season (roughly November to February) you may be lucky enough to see turtles laying eggs. Facilities are basic, with eco-cabins and small restaurants. It is usually visited together with Tokeh and Bureh beaches along the peninsula road, and transport is mostly by hired car.
