It is a short walk from the Shangri-La Hotel along the beach or road to the Yacht Club. There is an anchorage off the beach but in SW winds this could be untenable, you have to leave your dinghy on the beach but there is usually someone at the yacht club who may keep an eye on it. The buses pass right outside the gate. The Yacht Club asks that you pay 25rm a week membership but it is well worth this to take advantage of the cheap good food and drinks that they serve in air-conditioned surroundings. The use of the pool is included, the showers are also very good, and they can arrange laundry for you. Water is available but it is not potable. Cruisers recommend this as the best anchorage in Kota Kinabalu during the NE Monsoon.
