Hearing the waves slowly washing away on the shores, surrounded by swaying palm trees, offering shaded respite to its sandy shores, and all this merely a stone’s throw away from crystal clear waters that beckon to be explored. Protected to give the same “service” for generations to come, Malaysia’s Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park has been earmarked as an oceanic escape for Kota Kinabalu residents and visitors alike. This oasis of serenity, either before or after heading deep into the Borneo jungle, is seen as the beach pearl in the crown of Sabah’s capital.
