Go BackTanjung Simpang Mengayau is a windswept promontory rising out of the sea. Until a few years ago, it was forested. Recently however, the place has been spruced up into a park. There is a monument here in the shape of a truncated globe, looking like a melon with one side sliced off. I have to say I find it totally adorable! The very northernmost tip are just clusters of boulders in the sea. Posted sighboards warn against any foolhardy attempt to reach it - if you feel foolish enough to clamber there, go ahead, but watch for the waves.
Getting there
Aside from signing up for a local tour, the only other way to reach here is by taxi or rented car. A round-way taxi trip will put you back RM50, including waiting time, while a local tour from Kudat will cost you RM140.Related Sight

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
