Road Trippin’ Around Sabah
“The Tip of Borneo is a
gorgeous place at the
apex of Borneo where
waves crash on the
rocks below”
Journey to the
Tip of Borneo
Back on the road, we took a turn to
Tanjung Simpang Mengayau or Tip of
Borneo where the name explains it all,
as it is at the edge of Borneo. Once we
arrived, we were greeted with a long
stretch of beach with white sand and
some pretty vigorous waves. Their
waves are not Hawaii level but high
enough for a light surf. Surfboards
for rent are available and even surfing
lessons if you have never surfed the
waters.

Eateries are pretty limited here
where the ones we found include the
Merrimas Restaurant in Merrimas
Villa and Tip Top Restaurant.
Accommodation wise, the ones you can
find online are Merrimas Villa, Tommy’s
Place and Tampat Do Aman. But there
are smaller chalets like Borneo Tip
Beach Lodge and Simpang Mengayau
Chalet.
The Tip of Borneo is a gorgeous place
at the apex of Borneo where waves
crash on the rocks below. Try catching
the sunset and be amazed by the array
of colours painting the sky as the sun
drowns into the horizon.
