About:

Being the farthest from Kota Kinabalu city, Mengalum is the most undisputed island regarding its long, white sandy beach and its water.

​

As majestic as Mantanani Island, the visibility here reach 40 meters long during sunny day. The superb visibility here gives way to exciting marine life sightings. Snorkeling in Mengalum can be interesting as there are a abundant of fishes such as groupers, snappers, clownfishes and many other reef fishes with a majority of colorful hard corals, like, staghorn corals, lettuce coral, table corals.
