Lahad Latu Bay

The waters off Lahad Datu open into Darvel Bay on the eastern coast of Borneo. Islands and coral reefs lie within the bay, while mangrove forests fringe parts of the shore. The bay opens towards the Celebes Sea beyond the coastal headlands. Rivers descending from the forested interior meet the sea here, contributing to a rich coastal landscape of sheltered water, islands and shallow reefs.
