Kuala Penyu is a town located in Interior Division of Sabah, east Malaysia on the island of Borneo. It is one of the gateways to Pulau Tiga National Park, where Survivor: Borneo was set. Kuala Penyu is also famous for its beaches, especially Tempurung beach, Sawangan beach and Sungai Labuan Waterfront. Sungai Labuan, as the name implies was taken from the name of a river flowing in the heart of Kuala Penyu.

“Pesta Rumbia” is a special celebration for “Sago” trees which are only planted widely in the district. This festive season targets to promote ” sago” as traditional food and multi purpose product with full of nutrition.

The above photograph were taken on the beach that not very far from my mother-in-law house, less than fifteen minutes drive by car. Kuala Penyu by itself is about 120 Km from Kota Kinabalu and it will take approximately around two hours drive by car depending on traffic conditions.

Because of its location, not many people coming here, and unlike Tanjung Aru beach in Kota Kinabalu, you can hardly see any tourist here. The photographs above were taken in the late afternoon, just few minutes before sunset.
