The north end of the road from Labuhan Jukung beach through Walur is paved and an easy pleasant drive through quiet villages and rice fields. Along this streatch you will find the popular surfbreaks of Krui Left, Krui Right, The Peak, Leftovers and Amy's Left.

The road south of Walur through Lintik to Balai Kencana was paved in 2022 making this a very easy and pleasant drive. There are no gas stations or mechanics on this road so make sure your fuel tank is full.
