Years ago, Semporna in Sabah’s east coast was mostly known for one place: Pulau Sipadan or Sipadan Island. The small coral island was considered a bucket list destination for many tourists, especially divers, thanks to the diverse marine life that surrounds it.
It’s also a bird sanctuary, a migration stop for species such as wood and sand pipers, sea eagles, kingfishers, sunbirds, starlings and megapodes.
