Beraya Weekend od Sun, Sand, Surf and Sandflies.

It's been a couple of weeks since I hung out at the beach with the kids. We went to Baraya Laut Resort over the weekend to check the place out and take a dip in the South China Sea.

Mawi's place (Baraya Laut Resort) is amazing. Set on a 13 acre property he bought 10 years ago, the bungalow formed the main building which made up the Resort for now. He's building 6 more spa-quality chalets closer to the beach, right on top of a 30-40ft sheer cliff. The view is magnificent. Perfect for those seeking solitude and some quality quiet time. I hope Mawi will consider planting some bushy verdant vegetation in between the chalets to provide even more exclusive privacy from those intending to stay there.

The beach itself was fabulous ... though the water is not as blue-green as that of Kpg Mangkok, Steiu the other day it was fine enough for this side of the ocean, it's been raining the past few days.

Ali and Aisya had a blast chasing after the big waves on their body boards. It's great to see them running around being happy and excited ... reminds me of the one time my Dad took us (Usop, Pizie, Rita and I) rafting on a run-away rakit one early morning on our beach near Sungai Ular. Dad laughed so hard that day that he lost his dentures to the waves, never to be found again.


Oil Palm capital of the ... boonies.


Reflection of today's sunrise.


Sweet early morning lite from a lofty beachfront property ... lousy patch job.


Big waves, rising tides, not a single other soul on the stretch.


Waiting for bigger waves, grand vista in the background.
