Jalan Pantai, Kota KinabaluJalan Pantai, Kota Kinabalu (6 May 2022)


Jalan Pantai is a city street in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. It runs from the junction with Jalan Sagunting and Jalan Haji Saman in the north, to the roundabout with Jalan Tugu and Jalan Bandaran in the south.

Jalan Pantai, which means "beach road" was so named because it was originally along the coast. However, reclamation undertaken since 1962 has extended the coast outward, created the present commercial area of the city. This has moved the coast to its 2022 location at the present KK Esplanade. Jalan Tun Fuad Stephen was only created in the 1990s on the reclaimed land.
