Tanjung Aru is Kota Kinabalu’s nearest beach and only 15 minutes southwest of town. The wide strip of coarse sand stretches over 2 kilometers and remains lightly developed. That could change as the government has been considering improving the promenade and adjacent Prince Philip Park to make them more attractive.

Hang out and relax at Tanjung Aru Perdana Park, a recreational and leisure area surrounded by well-landscaped greenery. Run, jog, or take a brisk walk on one of the tracks, or just sit back and people-watch at this popular gathering place. Grab a refreshing drink or a delicious meal at one of the restaurants, bars, and cafes, and don't forget to take a look at the musical fountain display, which synchronizes lively music with colorful lights.
