Semporna Town

#kapalai Semporna Town serves as the gateway to Sabah’s world-famous islands and diving spots. While most visitors pass through on their way to islands like Kapalai or Sipadan, Semporna has its own charms. The bustling waterfront is lined with seafood restaurants serving freshly caught fish, lobsters, and crabs. The local markets offer a glimpse into daily life and traditional culture. Nearby, the Bajau Laut community, also known as the Sea Gypsies, live in stilted houses above the water. Although it’s not a major tourist destination itself, Semporna’s vibrant atmosphere and rich cultural heritage make it worth exploring before heading to the islands.
