The Sea

The sea is another physical feature of Kota Kinabalu. The city is flanked by the South China Sea to its west. There are a number of islands fronting the city centre. Five of the islands, namely Gaya, Sapi, Mamutik, Manukan and Sulug islands make up the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Marine Park. A visit to any one or all of the islands is a refreshing break from our hectic city life. Such a visit is also a must for visitors to the city. A trip to the islands takes about 15-20 minutes and less than RM30.

KK is also home to a port and a naval base, both of which are located near Teluk Sepangar or Sepangar Bay. The photo above is not of the aforementioned islands. It is actually of Pulau Sepangar. The photo was taken from the building where I work.
