TOURIST HOT SPOT: JESSELTON POINT WATERFRONT

Jesselton Point Waterfront is one of the must go area when visiting Kota Kinabalu City. Formerly known as KK Ferry Terminal, it is now one of the city's main attraction. With breath taking sunset view while you're enjoying your light snack with your significant other or with your friends, it's imperative to make your way here at least once while you're in the city. But the excitement doesn't end once the sun sets on the water, because this place will be a place to hang out under the moonlight and stars.

Located north of the city, the amazing scenic area has a strong historical feel to it. Jesselton Point is the main boat terminal for anyone who wish visit any of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and Gaya Island. But, other than being the boat terminal, Jesselton Point is also a place of good eateries, water activity and for sports too! One of the popular place to eat there is the authentic Indonesian cuisine at the Nasi Padang Ibu restaurant. If you're a more sweet tooth-kinda person, or you just want to cool down after a whole day under the sun, then the delicious gelato at the Dream Cones is a must try.

We mentioned water activity, and by that we mean fishing. Have a relaxing day near the port, sinking your bait in the deep water while sipping on those beer, waiting for a fish to bite. All you need to do is pay a RM10 entry fee to be able to fish at the port. But, the fishing gears won't be provided. So, you need to bring your own rod and bait.

If you want a more laid back activity, why not just take an evening stroll at the port with your loved one and watch as the sun sets while the cooling Sabahan breeze gently brushes your skin.

In the future, Jesselton Point Waterfront will plan an expansion to accommodate more activities on the port, either recreational purposes or commercial. But worry not, it's beauty will be preserved, if not enhanced.
