Kapalai is a small island on the southeastern coast of Sabah. It is a sandbar island located to the east of Pulau Mabul. It is now at sea level, having been eroded over time to nothing more than a sandbar. All the buildings at Kapalai are on stilts.

Getting there

You should use Semporna as your gateway to Kapalai. From Semporna, get in touch with the tour operators at the Semporna Ocean Tourism Centre which is located on stilts over the water at Jalan Kastam.
