This dramatic headland is situated in the northern-most of BORNEO, the third largest island in the world, after Greenland and New Guinea. it is located in Kudat Peninsula, about three and a half hours (or 215 kilometers) drive from Kota Kinabalu City.
Simpang Mengayau means 'lingering junction' as it is here that the South China Sea lingers and meets the Sulu Seas flowing from the east. Enjoy the stunning view, the sunsets and full moons are just beautiful at night. The Pulau Kalampunian lighthouse is a reminder of the treacherous coastline and past shipwrecks. On the left is the beautiful beach of Pantai Kalampunian.
It's a lovely easy stroll to the flagpole, the globe and the rocky outcrop that forms the "Tip Of Borneo".
