Police Station in central old town, alongside Kingsway Road, next to the overhead pedestrian bridge and in front of the Municipal Multi-Story Car Park. The building is a single-story 1940s-50s construction, originally not air-conditioned.
It has been renovated multiple times since, for accommodation of modern amenities such as police radio upgrades, network upgrades, and air conditioning over the years. Being right next to the old town, the old police station is still a very busy place, with many people going directly there to make reports or to settle disputes, and police in patrol cars going through their routines daily.

The catching of bubuk is an annual cycle in Miri. During this phenomenon these shrimps arrive in the millions in the shallow waters of the sea off the beaches of Miri, and the fisherfolks using their fishing tool, known as the 'paka', scoop them up from the waters by wading into the sea. 
Seahorse Island (not its official name) is planned to be a man-made island, in the shape of Miri's mascot - the seahorse - for the 3rd phase of the Brighton Beach's redevelopment master plan. Once completed this island will be about 800 metres off the coast from Brighton Beach, and planned to feature recreational, commercial and residential areas.
Built in 1925, near Tanjung Lobang, this historic hilltop mansion used to be the Residency of Miri. It is now a VVIP Rest House. Dignitaries that have used this Rest House in the past ranged from White Rajahs, British Governors, Yang Dipertuan Agong, and many more.
