Avoid High Prices on Kota Kinabalu Waterfront

2009-08-03T07:56:00.001+08:00

Kota Kinabalu waterfront has long been recognised as the place to go and watch the sunsets and have a drink. However in recent months with the commencement of redevelopment, something seems to have affected the sewage problem with the result of unpleasant smells permeating the area.

Prices have always been high on the waterfront but the canny traveller can find more pleasant surrounding in the Beach Street Area and Asia City.

Beach Street despite its name is a few blocks away from the waterfront due to extensive land reclamation when KK was rebuilt following the WW 2.

Many people are surprised at the high prices for alcohol but bargain can still be found at places such as the Pirates Rib shack Diner where some of the best ribs in town are available, together with all day breakfasts, Chinese and local food from associated outlets
