Jesselton Point Waterfront, Ferry port in Kota Kinabalu District, Malaysia.
Jesselton Point Waterfront is a ferry terminal and promenade in Kota Kinabalu that combines transport functions with dining, shops, and a four-court futsal center. The space connects passengers with practical amenities while overlapping recreational use along the waterfront.
The facility was formerly called Kota Kinabalu Ferry Terminal and preserves old photographs of the city within its spaces. It was later rebranded as Jesselton Point, referencing the colonial-era name of the settlement.
The BAYU Night Market occupies the terminal car park and offers goods made by local artisans alongside traditional Sabahan dishes. This gathering space shows how the waterfront serves the community as a place to buy and sell regional products.
Ferries depart daily to multiple destinations with departures scheduled in the morning and early afternoon. Visitors should arrive early and confirm current schedules, as times can vary based on weather and seasonal conditions.
Nighttime fishing is permitted here from 6 PM to 6 AM for an entrance fee at the Suria Futsal Centre. This after-dark activity turns the waterfront into an unexpected leisure spot beyond typical operating hours.
