Pasar Tanjung Tawau (Tanjung Market)

Pasar Tanjung Tawau, also known as Tanjung Market, is a large indoor market in central Tawau, Sabah, near the waterfront. Completed in 1999, it is regarded as one of the largest indoor markets in Malaysia. The three-storey building houses hundreds of stalls selling fresh seafood, produce, dried goods, and handicrafts. It serves as a central trading hub for the town's diverse communities and a key point for visitors to experience local daily life and cuisine.

Visitors can expect a busy three-storey indoor market building in Tawau town centre. The ground floor focuses on fresh seafood, meat, vegetables and fruits, while upper floors offer dried seafood, local snacks, clothing, and handicrafts. The interior is organized into rows of stalls with concrete walkways. Surroundings include the Tawau waterfront, shops and eateries. Visitors can walk through aisles, observe daily trading, sample local foods and purchase souvenirs.

Pasar Tanjung was completed in 1999 by the Tawau Municipal Council to centralize traders previously operating in smaller markets. It was developed as a modern indoor market facility to serve the growing population of Tawau District and has since become the main municipal market for the town.

The market reflects the multicultural composition of Tawau, with Bajau, Bugis, Suluk, Chinese and other communities trading together. It is a centre for local food culture, traditional ingredients, dried seafood and handicrafts, and serves as an important community gathering and trading place for residents and visitors.
