When I knew that I was going back to Kudat, I set up my objective to visit the northernmost tip of Borneo Island, the third largest island in the world. And my objective achieved. I went with a group of friends on one evening and had the opportunity to catch the sunset too.

Tanjung Simpang Mengayau gets its name from Sampang Mangazo in the Rungus dialect. Its a stretch of beach that ends with a rocky headland. Click the photo below to read more about the place that is considered as the best viewpoint of Simpang Mengayau
Read some history from the photo below that has something to do with the area
This is the tip. The rock at the tip of the Cape. Well, I dare not go to the end because its a bit slippery. 
Just the proof that I have been here.
This is actually the farthest visitors can go. Going beyond this is at the visitors risk. I and my friends defy this notice and go down to the rocks down.
Just relax at one of the shelter sipping cool drinks while enjoying the cool breeze and the view of The Sulu Sea.
