Labuan Sait is the local name for Padang Padang, and the area goes by both. The beach is a cove you walk into through a narrow limestone passage, and you can swim and sunbathe there when the sea is calm.

The main peak is a heavy, hollow left for advanced surfers only, with a friendlier right beside it.
