Sabah's Land's End

Tanjung Simpang Mengayau is malay for the "Wandering Crossroad Promontory". Geographically, it is the Land's End Of Sabah or in the tourism industry, it goes with "The Tip Of Borneo". In Sabah, this is the northeastern tip, which is easily accessible to the public. The northwestern tip of Sabah, is not as easy and attractive.

The white beach you see is called Pantai Kalampunian. From where you are standing, it stretches for about 2km in a crescent shape, with groves of shady casuarina/pine trees.

The water is pretty warm, and azure, while the beach is fine white sand. As it is on the most northernmost and the nearest landmass is in the Philipines, and far from sealanes, the water is free from water pollution.

About 10 minutes drive from this beach, is a resort called Sunjamal Resort, run and owned by a Swiss lady and her husband.

This photo was taken around noon, where the position of the sun works very well with polarizing filter. This way, the quality of the water is seen better and the clouds, well defined.
