Location : Tanjung Simpang Mengayau, Kudat Division, Sabah, Malaysia.

“Simpang Mengayau means ‘lingering junction’ as it is here that the South China Sea lingers and meets the Sulu Seas flowing from the east .  It is located in the Kudat Peninsula, about three and a half hours (or 215 kilometres) drive from Kota Kinabalu City.” accommodation, adventure, outdoor, backpackers, destination, family vacation, Bak Bak Beach, Pantai Kalampunian, Tanjung Simpang Mengayau, Northern Tip, Tourism, tourist attraction, travel guide, Useful information, Malaysia, Kudat, 沙巴

Beautiful place but no accommodation or visitors other than the 3 of us. I believe it caters more for the locals during the weekends.chalets, adventure, backpackers, globe, destination, family holiday, Bak Bak Beach, Pantai Kalampunian, South China Sea, Sunset Music Festival, Northern, tourist attraction, travel guide, Useful information, Malaysia, 古达, 沙巴

We continued on through quite a bad patch of dirt road before passing through a village with a narrow and winding road. The first thing upon arrival at the newly built car park was to check out the open air venue of the annual Sunset Music Festival which will be held on 3rd and 4th June 2016.

Along the beachfront we noticed at least 5 B&Bs and chalets with prices ranging from RM40 to RM500, offering lots of outdoor activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, deep sea angling, kayaking and surfing.
