MAIGA ISLAND, SEMPORNA SABAH

April 23, 2009 * Comments(1)

Maiga island is about 1 hour boat ride off the coast of Semporna town in Sabah. Along the boat ride, you will see clear blue/green water and below it, the coral and sea weeds. The island has a small population of sea Bajau people who live in wooden houses built on stilts in water. They make a living off the sea.

Walking around the island’s sandy beach takes about 50 minutes. During low tide, you can see the coconut trees along a clean stretch of sandy beach all around.
