Plan a food trip through Labuan
Labuan keeps island days simple: market breakfasts, seafood dinners and quiet memorials. Start at Pasar Sentral or Medan Selera Labuan, then fish soup at a kopitiam and a cup of Tenom coffee. Chinese seafood and Fisherman Harbour fill the evening. Walk Labuan Square, visit Muzium Marin Labuan (Labuan Marine Museum) and the Chimney Museum at Tanjung Kubong, then slow down at Peace Park or Labuan War Cemetery. Pulau Papan and Pantai Pancur Hitam give you sea air before the ferry home.
