The Old Takada Sunday Market
1998- 2019

Remarks : This old Takada Sunday Market was moved to Sabindo on 30th June 2019 Sunday

Held each Sunday morning at the corner of Jalan Apas and Jalan Kuhara, here is the place to see the local indigenous community selling their produce.

Compare with the one in Kota Kinabalu, Tawau Sunday Market is shorter and more like a mixture of a wet market and a pasar malam (night market).

The market opens every Sunday as early as 6am and lasts until 12pm. Located on the intersection of Apas and Kuhara roads, within the town area, the market is packed with stalls selling numerous kinds of local produces, every Sunday only from 6.00 am to 12.00 noon. If you are happening to be in Tawau on Sunday, don’t miss this open market. At this market you can find vegetable, fresh and sea water fishes & prawns, tortoise, birds, puppy, pets, flowers, fruit plants, bee hives, knife, local fruits, snacks, clam, cheap oysters, salty fish and many other things.

This is when a mix of races Bajau, Kadazan/Dusun, Indonisian, Chinese and Malay come to sell their goods and socialize with other.

Behind the market, there are two rows of commercial building. Most upper floors of these building have been converted by owners into bird net farms. If you are lucky, you might able to sight thousand and thousand of swallows circling around the buildings. It is quite a spectacular scene from down below, but beware of the birds’ dropping.
