Jesselton Point boat terminal is located north of downtown Kota Kinabalu. Within walking distance to this terminal for those staying at nearby city hotels. This ferry terminal is located close to Wisma Sabah, Grand Port View building, marine police and custom offices.

Jesselton is the formal name of Kota Kinabalu.

Formally the old shipping port, it was was redesigned into a boat terminal with colorful commercial outlets of tourist facilities for those heading to the islands in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park nearby.

This ferry terminal is also the departure point for patrons staying at either Manukan Island Resort or Gayana Resort.

The buildings are painted in bright orange color to breathe a new life into the area. Jesselton Point project was quite an example of urban rehabilitation programme in this fairly tired-looking city of Kota Kinabalu. It exemplifies the usage of the city's main natural attraction, its spectacular ocean view, to draw the crowds from near and far.

At the main entrance, there is a nice archway that welcomes you to the city. On the walls are various dated photos of the city's aerial view, some were taken in the early 1900s. There are also two English-inspired telephone booths with their ubiquitous bright red color.

There is a nice looking Italian restaurant called Benito Bistro equipped with glassy walls overlooking the dock and the ocean.

There is a featured rail coach taken out from the existing North Borneo Railway service that serves as a drinking outlet called JP Train Station. There are a lot of other smaller cafés with more acceptable food prices apart from souvenir shops for visitors leaving the city.

A great place for a stroll with historical perspective blended in modern design.
