I Love KK is a landmark in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Open 24 hours.
Nestled along Kota Kinabalu's coastline, Tanjung Aru Beach provides a serene getaway with one of the most stunning sunset views in Malaysia. Positioned just a 10-minute drive from Kota Kinabalu International Airport, this accessible beach is favored by both locals and tourists. The beach is lined with casuarina trees, and as the sun dips, the sky is lit with a rich palette of colors, creating a picturesque scene, especially near the “I Love KK” statue—a popular spot for photos.
