The Sunset Of Tanjung Aru

I have heard so much about Tanjung Aru, Sabah from travel brochures and also hotel leaflets. The Tanjung Aru Beach is one of the many-splendor beaches in Sabah. Tanjung Aru derives its name from the abundance of tall casuarinas or Aru trees that grace the shoreline of the beach. Tanjung Aru's beach is a long stretch of white sand lined with palm and casuarina trees. Only 6km and 15 minute’s drive from Kota Kinabalu town centre, or 10km from the airport.It is very popular among locals as a weekend getaway with families and friends, as well as enjoy the breezy atmosphere

Visitors may just relax under the shady trees; activities like water skiing or scuba diving can be arranged through the nearest resort, the Shangri-la Tanjung Aru. Food stalls nearby serve a wide variety of open-air seafood restaurantas well as the usual fried rice and noodles until midnight. A special attraction is the spectacular, enjoy the sunset between 6.00 and 6.15 p.m., Jog or stroll along the stretch of sandy beach in the evenings, and sea breeze, try out the pickled fruits and other local snacks sold at the roadside facing the beach bus stop and Walk about the Tanjung Aru Beach Park (formerly known as the Prince Philip Park) also good play ground for yours kids
