Kuala Penyu Beach in Sabah - Picture of the Week

Beach at Kuala Penyu
Kuala Penyu Beach in Sabah is my picture of the week. I visited this isolated place in January 2010 as I have heard much about the beauty here.

During my stay at the Tempurung Lodge which is the only accommodation in the area, I spent my time exploring the local kampungs (villages), kedai kopi (coffee shop) and namely the beach here.

An absolute tranquil place with no disturbances apart from the local fishermen who come in with their catch in really small boats and local school children making their way to school is what you will come across daily here.

Kuala Penyu actually means Turtle Confluence and is a very small local community which is located about two hours drive from Kota Kinabalu City in Sabah. For those seeking a back-to-basic getaway, this place offers travelers and holiday makers the perfect selection.

The Tempurung Lodge at Kuala Penyu caters to all kinds of guests, from back packers to families. This place is also located near to the famous Snake Island or Pulau Tiga.

Malaysia Asia

Blogging since 2007, but writing online since 1997. I belong to the 1st generation of worldwide bloggers, which is of course old-school. Since 2008, I created Malaysia Asia and this travel, flood, gadget and lifestyle blog has won numerous physical awards from tourism boards around Malaysia. (Not those online awards). After 12 years of blogging, I have semi-retired and now blog about things I like, do product reviews and enjoy life. My work has been featured in Lonely Planet, CNN Travel, Yahoo Travel, Wall Street Journal, and many other international publications. Find out more about me and thank you.
