Beaches
Oliver Fred
Located right at the end of Tanjung Aru Beach is one the best ever spot to immerse yourself into the beautiful dawn of sunset, Shangrila's Tanjung Aru Sabah Sunset Bar, om a day clear non rainy day you will get to sight that jaw drapping sky changing colours durimg the sunset hour ard 5pm onwards, the other part of Tanjung Aru is a public beach so do expect super crowded on weekends, public holidays and even on school holidays

Mosques
Irsa Olie
The Floating Mosque of Sabah is truly breathtaking. Its location on the water makes it unique and adds to its beauty. The architecture is stunning, with intricate details and peaceful colors. Since we're Muslim, we're allowed to enter. Inside, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful, making it a great place for reflection and prayer. The views from the mosque are amazing, overlooking the sea and the city. It's a wonderful spot to visit, whether you're a tourist or a local. I found it to be a serene and tranquil place, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Floating Mosque of Sabah for its beauty, serenity, and unique experience it offers.

We were lucky and saw sea turtle. Private operator for this place with limited visitor entrance. Crystal clear sea with countless fish as well as nemo during snorkeling.This was the only island I went in KK recommended by LOCAL. They said, aim for the best to go in KK instead making a tired island hopping near city and seen nothing stunning. I will surely come back again.

Villages

This cultural village definitely should be visited by all tourists that go to Sabah.First of all, the village is really nice located in a forest. This makes the stay very comfortable because there is always a place where you find shadow.At the beginning, they build little groups that each get one tour guide that speaks your language. Due to the little group, we could ask all the questions that we had.
