Bangka Belitung Province is famous for its beautiful and attractive beach destinations; one of which is Tanjung Tinggi. Tanjung Tinggi is a beach flanked by two peninsulas, namely Tanjung Kelayang and Tanjung Pendam. The name Tanjung Tinggi is taken from the words "Tanjung" which means peninsula and "Tinggi" which represents high rocks around the beach. This beach can be reached 15 minutes by motor vehicles from Tanjung Pandan City.

Tanjung Tinggi beach has an area of 80 hectares. White sand, and hundreds of large granite rocks are scattering on both peninsulas, and also in the sea in front of the beach. Granite sizes range from several cubic meters to hundreds of cubic meters larger than a house, making it a leading tourism spot on Belitung Island. The distribution of granite rocks of various sizes is a unique beauty phenomenon for visitors to this beach. There are several beautiful places to take photos around the beach.

Tanjung Tinggi is also called ‘Bilik Harbor’. Previously, this place was a fishing port for the nearby villages of Keciput or Tanjung Tinggi. There is no need to worry about shark attacks, because the attacks never happen on Belitung beaches. The only thing you have to watch out is the existence of jellyfish, especially the big ones. Other facilities at Tanjung Tinggi Beach are quite adequate. Because around the beach, there is a hotel for those of you who want to stay overnight. For meals and drinks, there are also food stalls available around the Beach.
