Muara Beach is 16 miles from Brunei's capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan. In addition to a long stretch of white sand, Muara's enclosed playground area, picnic tables, showers and bathrooms make it particularly family friendly. If you prefer not to pack your own food and beverages, there are several beachside restaurants for fine dining and European food. But if you're feeling adventurous, sample some local street food -- Pandag is a national favorite -- at one of the kiosks on the beach. It's spicy fare, but you won't find a beer to wash it down, because alcohol is prohibited in Brunei.
