Kudat became well-known for its beautiful white sandy beaches and crystal clear turquoise water. The locals also favour Kudat for its fresh seafood as well as cultural attractions such as the Sumangkap Gong Village, Tinangol Hadicraft Village, Walai Tobilung and the Bavanggazo longhouse.
“We proposed to upgrade the Tip of Borneo area to enhance and improve the facilities there. We have already obtained funding approval under the State Project Development RMK12,” said State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Jafry Ariffin.
“Once completed, visitors will expect upgraded facilities such as resting huts, walkways, toilets, viewing platform, souvenir shop as well as a reception and information centre,” Jafry added.
In March last year, the Tun Mustapha Museum, Kudat’s very own museum, was completed under the 11th Malaysia Plan (RMK11) while RM1.0 million had been allocated to develop Balambangan Cave, another attraction just an hour’s boat ride from Kudat Marina jetty.
