The capital of Sabah in the year 1882 used to be Kudat. Two years later, it was moved to the east side of the country, Sandakan as Kudat was experiencing a water shortage.

Tourists wishing to visit Kudat can do so by taking a two-hour journey from Kota Kinabalu.

Tanjung Simpang Mengayau or the Tip of Borneo is a major tourist attraction. Clear waters and clean beaches, various islands and lighthouses can be found here.

On the way to Kudat, we saw oil palm plantations as far as the eye can see.

Sea products as well as handicrafts are sold on the side of the road.

The journey did not feel long as there were a number of stalls selling fruits, juices and handicrafts at the side of the road.

One can find a number of places to stay in Kudat. The lodgings are quite cheap ranging from RM50 to RM60 per night. Food can be found at relatively low prices too.
