Description
Just 10 minutes away from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, is a small idyllic beach set against a backdrop of a hilly rainforest fronted by white sandy beaches with a spectacular view of the city. If you want to dive Kota Kinabalu without the crowds, Sepanggar is it, talk about tranquility. The reefs here are largely flat, making it a relaxing dive. And with it being uncommercialized, the marine life is astounding. Definitely one of Kota Kinabalu’s hidden gems.The sandy beaches are met by thick rain forest right off the coast that rises to twin main peaks, as high as 160 meters a.m.s.l. A heaven for nature lovers, it is blessed with the amazing varieties of flora and fauna befitting an untouched tropical rain forest. Here, the island is yours to explore.
