Kudat is also famous for its rich cultural heritage that comprise a warm mix of Chinese, Bajau, Filipino and Rungus, a subtribe of the Kadazan-Dusun and the main ethnic group of the area. The Rungus are renowned as highly skilled artisans who traditionally make colourful beaded necklaces from local plant seeds and clay, adorned with motifs of ancient designs that usually signify old fables and legends. They are also skilled at basketry and cloth weaving.
