Tanjung Aru is only about 10mins away from Kota Kinabalu.. For a city girl like me.. who always grew up surrounded by concrete jungle.. it was amazing that the beach was so near to town.. i wish we had that here in KL.. The nearest for us is Port Dickson and i know its been so long since i was there.. but the sea was kinda dirty..
A lot of sabahans just take a drive to beach in the evenings and on the weekends just to hang out.. play football or volleyball and just enjoy some sea breeze accompanied by a beautiful sunset..
We played football.. Well, they played football.. I'm not so much into sports so i was walking around the beach just enjoying myself and being one with my thoughts.. i love beaches and this is one of the reasons why i want to settle down in Sabah when i can.. You just feel so relaxed..
My cousins and i had some fun time in the sea as well.. one most famous game was to run towards the waves and it was fun coz the waves were getting bigger and bigger as it became darker.. don't worry.. we were only at knee deep :)
After getting wet from the sea and sweat (for those who played ball), we headed to the public bathroom which was pleasantly clean to wash up and get dressed.. then we went to this huge food court just by the parking area.. they had anything you could name but i was more interested in the totally huge glasses and chicken wings!!
All in all.. my perfect day.. sun, beach, sand, watermelon drink and chicken wings.. how i wish everyday could be like this... :)
