Tanjung Aru Beach, Sabah, Malaysia

4.0 (470 reviews) Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #3 in Sabah Beaches

Best seat in town for sunset

This is probably one of the best spot for sunset. Would recommend going to beach 3 tho..beach 1 & 2 can be crowded. If you're looking for food should go to beach 1. Sunset is at 6.10 onwards but highly recommended to come around 5 beacuse traffic can be a pain.

Lovely evening sunset stroll
You don’t need to go to Shangrila sunset bar to see the magnificent KK’a sunset, just take a stroll along Tanjong Aru beach. We went during low tide where the sea water is a good 30-40m down the beach. It leaves us with a lot of strolling space and to see the tiny crab scuttle back into their holes as we approach. We started near the food stalls north of Prince Phillips park and walked north towards Shangrila and took a Grab from DBKK carpark. Lovely evening stroll in the sunset.

Beautiful beach for sunset
Stopped by Tanjung Aru beach since it is a must visit place in Kota Kinabalu. We arrived here about 1pm and the beach was deserted. Tanjung Aru beach is usually crowded during evening because of its famous spot to enjoy sunset. There is also a night market next to the beach which causes heavy traffic in the evening. Highly recommend Tanjung Aru Beach for sunset!
