The world-class sunset in Kota Kinabalu!

The sunset at Tanjung Aru Beach is one of the top 3 in the world. I was lucky enough to see it on my first day in Kota Kinabalu! It was so beautiful, I wish I had come earlier! Tickets: Free Time needed: 1–2 hours 1. Check the weather in advance. The sunset is amazing on a sunny day, and the beach reflects the clouds like a mirror! 2. Traffic is very heavy on the way to Tanjung Aru Beach during holidays, so it's best to go early! 3. There are a lot of people near the entrance to the beach. You can walk along the beach in either direction to find a quieter spot. 4. Tanjung Aru Beach is divided into three sections: First Beach, Second Beach, and Third Beach. The taxi will drop you off at First Beach, where you can find food and performances. Second Beach and Third Beach are further south and are quieter.
