One
of the interesting places in Sabah is Manukan island. Manukan Island (Pulau Manukan) is
the second largest island in the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, Malaysia's
first marine national park. It is located in the East Malaysian state of Sabah,
just off the coast of Kota Kinabalu and is easily accessible by boat.

stretches of beaches on the southern coastline. The best beach is on the
eastern tip of the island. Offshore of Manukan are coral reefs, which is ideal
