Tip of Borneo at Tanjung Simpang Mengayau, Kudat

If you have plenty of time when visiting Kota Kinabalu or even plan for another trip again, why don't make a day trip to Tip of Borneo as part of your visit? Shame to say that this place has been existed for so long but only early of this year, I managed to visit Tip of Borneo with my mom, Boyfie, my sister and her boyfriend during on the 6th day of Chinese New Year.

Located in Kudat district which require at least approximately of 3 and half hours drive from Kota Kinabalu town centre, this theatrical island is situated in the northern part of Sabah. Throughout the 3 and half hours drive, it's kinda gave pain for the butt especially due to some part of the road are so bumpy and some are not being repaired or improved yet, but once we reached Tip of Borneo, we knew that the journey is worthwhile even we visited for a very short period of time.

#1: Need to walk at least 250 meters away from where we parked our car before reach the landmark.

#2: Despite the scorching hot weather, we were blessed with vivid and pristine blue ocean as well as the sky while walking on the pathway.

#3: This is the highlighted and famous icon of Tip of Borneo, Giant Bronze Globe.

#4: At the behind of the Giant Bronze Globe, there is a map featured the Borneo Island embossed in bronze and laid on a flat surface at an angle with inscriptions to mark the Tip of Borneo. From the map, it showed that Tanjung Simpang Mengayau is located exactly where South China Sea lingers and meets Sulu Seas flowing from the east.

#5: Not just the view itself, we enjoyed the cool and windy ocean breeze here.

#6: Visitors are only allowed to go beyond this point or else, it will be on visitor own risk.

#7: Steep cliff to the rocky outcrop that forms the Tip of Borneo

#8: One of the Sabah's attraction that promise will give you a tranquility and breath-taking view.

Admission is free anyway.

How To Get To Here:
Can go either by taxi, with a tour agent or self-drive. Taxi would be expensive option, whereas with a tour agent you might need to pre-booked. I would recommended rent a car if you like to discover this place by your own and it would be much cheaper compare book with tour agent, if travel in a big group.

And if you have extra time, you can consider to overnight here for a spectacular sunset as well as sunrise view at one of the nearest and convenient that I highly recommended, Tommy's Place. You can check out HERE for more details.
