The Tanjung Batu beach area has been a very popular picnic spot for Bintuluians since the 1960's. When Bintulu encountered its first boom starting in 1979, many visitors and residents or temporary workforce to the town had the Tanjung Beach as the main outlet for beach recreational activities because it was conveniently located about 4 kilometers from the town center. When more people settled permanently in the town there was a need to provide better amenities and facilities to the Tanjung Batu beach area. In 1987 the Tanjung Batu coastal road as it was called then was paved and installed with street lighting. To start with it was a 2-lane single carriageway.
