Yep this is the main reason we came here, snorkelling...
I found a huge hermit crab off the shore (I think it's hermit crab, I'm no marine biologist~) it's almost as huge as my tigh.
No underwater pics though.

You can trekk to the other end of this island (Sun Set Point) from a path behind the entrance gate.
Too bad we weren't there long enough for sunset...
Tip:
Don't just stop at the signboard, you can go a little bit further behind it and reach a rocky beach.
Nice spot for picture taking~

Pulau Manukan is a lovely island. It offers long stretched of white sandy beach, with beautiful coral reefs and fishes. It's a good place to spend some time relaxing and have a good time enjoying the sea and sun!

Address: Located off the town of Kota Kinabalu
A beautiful small island for relaxing, you can just sit by the beach and enjoy the view. Snorkelling is quite a dissapointment as there were hardly any fish or corals!
