Description : 
Kudat played an important role in Sabah’s early colonial history. As a matter of fact, it was the first capital of Sabah, and once held high hopes of playing a major part in the China-Europe trade. Recently Kudat has received again more attention and a major tourist infrastructure has been put in place. However, the town remains much of its rural and laid-back charm, and it is arguably the cleanest town in the whole of Sabah!
This dramatic headland is situated in the northern-most tip of BORNEO, the third largest island in the world, after Greenland and New Guinea. It is located in the Kudat Peninsula, about three and a half hours (or 215 kilometres) drive from Kota Kinabalu City.

Simpang Mengayau means 'lingering junction' as it is here that the South China Sea lingers and meets the Sulu Seas flowing from the east ... Enjoy the stunning view. The sunsets and full moons are just beautiful ... The Pulau Kalampunian lighthouse is a reminder of treacherous coastline and past shipwrecks. On the left is the beautiful beach of Pantai Kalampunian. It's a lovely easy stroll to the flagpole, the Globe and the rocky outcrop that forms the "Tip of Borneo".
