Sematan

Sematan, known historically as Simatan, is a small town in Lundu District, Sarawak, Malaysia. It lies about 67.5 kilometres west-north-west of the state capital Kuching, roughly a two-hour drive away. The town is a fishing village looking out over the South China Sea, with reasonably clean beaches, a waterfront promenade and a concrete pier extending into the sea. At the north end there is a park celebrating the early Malay fishermen of the area. The climate is tropical rainforest with heavy to very heavy rainfall through the year and extremely heavy rainfall in January and February. Telok Melano, at the southern tip of Sarawak, is a short drive from the town and is listed among its attractions.
