Tungku Beach (Malay: Pantai Tungku) is a Brunei Investment Agency (BIA) owned beach in Kampong Tungku, Berakas 'A', Brunei-Muara, Brunei.[1][2] The beach is known for fishing, picnicking and view of sunsets over the South China Sea.[3][4] The beach sits at an altitude of 76 metres (249 ft).[5]

In 1992, it was reported that the beach had severe sand erosion.[6] On 24 February 2013, a beach cleaning campaign was hosted by the Ministry of Development's Lands Department.[7]
