Sea of Angels Pulau Mamutik is the smallest island among the five islands cluster grouped under Tunku Abdul Rahman Islands (Marine) Park. And it’s also the least crowded island in the group. But during public holidays and weekends you can forget about having the beach all to yourself.

A Bay With A Naval Base & Water Villages & Container Port & Oil Terminal Sebangar Bay, such a mish-mash of a jamboree. Anywhere else in the world has got such a mixed-up place?

Dreamland

Sweet Dreams Are Made of This It would, indeed, have been a “Dream Paradise” had the beach been taken more care of and cow poops are nowhere to be in sight. This resort has fallen by the wayside. A dream that failed to come true.

The Untouchable Beach Dalit Beach- aptly named as such. Your attention is drawn to the fact: this is a private beach as access to it is through a private resort property- Rasa Ria Resort (Shagri-la Hotel Resort)

Kamikaze! The Divine Wind To say I was shell-shocked is to put it lightly. But stunned I truly was by the sight of the Kamikaze’s suicidal mission. But it was fun and hilarious to watch the Kamikaze diving into the sea to catch its prey.

Together At last At Twilight Time Well, not quite twilight time, but close. Still counts, doesn’t it? Sutera Harbour is a private resort in Kota Kinabalu. It “may” be out of your league. Still, if you can afford it. Why not? The sea is free though. I hope…..,……….

Keep the Dragon’s Tail At Bay Kellybays, otherwise referred to as Bay of Dragon’s Tail in Chinese, has that sense of transcendental Shangrila sensational feeling to it, especially when viewed through during the twilight hour.

Take A Walk On The Wild Side A much neglected, under-rated & under-maintained park in Kota Kinabalu. But, in my humble opinion, it’s wild and yet still the best park in the whole of Sabah. It is, I think, the first public park in Kota Kinabalu and was built to commemorate the Royal Visit to Sabah [...]

Sweet Heart No More It was a beach dear to the hearts of the people in Papar and was so named as the Sweetie Beach. Manis means sweet in the local lingo and pantai the beach.

Taman Awam Teluk Likas This is a popular picnic spot for the locals. Weekends will see the beach swamped with picnickers having a fun family day out. And of course a dip in the sea will go without saying. The beach is also one of the venues earmarked, unofficially, for the New Year celebration. On [...]

Journey Further Up The Road On Pan Borneo Highway As you travel along the Pan Borneo Highway- on the section of Jalan Putatan- past the Lok Kawi Army Camp, you will eventually arrive at the point where you will need to take a right turn towards the town of Kinarut in order to still stay on the panoramic view [...]

The Seaside That Underwent A Face Change Alright, alright, fair enough, I was completely wrong when years ago I said to someone the Lok Kawi Beach was such a let down with the sandy beach covered over with filthy and sooty black muds. And ramshackle wooden huts were lining the sea coast as far as [...]

The Pan-Borneo Panorama On your way to Tenom? Or coming to visit Kota Kinabalu from Brunei or Sarawak? Take a break and relax, and while your day away at this relatively unappreciated seaside. Stop by the Lok Kawi Beach (Pantai) and take a breather to soak in the wondrous seascape mystique interpersed with scenic isles [...]
