Tanjung Tuan

We made a trip to Port Dickson about two months ago to visit my brother who had just moved to Teluk Kemang. So, all the way from the East Coast we travelled to the most popular beach holiday destination in the West Coast of Malaysia. If not for my brother, I really have no idea when we are going to be there. PD is so near yet so far..The last time I went there was about 3 decades ago!

While we were at Teluk Kemang, my brother suggested that we go for hillwalking at Tanjung Tuan to see the view of the surrounding area from the top of the hill...I love going for hillwalking macam naik Bukit Besar here in KT..When you reach the top you will feel so relax and can enjoy the breathtaking view of the surrounding area. Sebelum tu kena menapak and berpeluh2 dulu la tapi..

So here are some photos of the trip...yg telah diperap for some time...

Historically, Tanjung Tuan was an important sighting ground for the Portuguese forces that conquered Malacca a long long time ago. They built a lighthouse at the peak of the hill in 1528 to guide friendly vessels to the port while keeping an eye out for enemy ships. The waters off Tanjung Tuan was also the site of a historical battle between the Dutch and Portuguese naval forces in 1606.

Tanjung Tuan, also known as Cape Rachado, is also a forest reserve popular with visitors for its quiet beaches and nature activities, such as bird watching.

On the way up to the light house.. masa ni tgh termengah2 and berpeluh2..sikit lagi nak sampai

We were finally at the top! The lighthouse, still sits on the summit today in its original state and still functions until today with the help of a modern revolving radar transmitter. The lighthouse has been there for more than 400 years !

At the top of the hill, you can see a lot of shipping vessels as the Strait of Malacca is one of the busiest shipping lane in the in the world! It's the main shipping chanel between Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. On the other side is Sumatra, Indonesia.

My children ran all the way down the hill cause they were so excited to go to Blue Lagoon beach.

The famous Blue Lagoon beach is located right next to Tanjung Tuan, along with a few resorts and holiday bungalows.

alamak ceteknya air..


My children were so happy cause they could swim in the water . They are not able to do that here in KT! Kat sini korang nak menyelam pun mama benarkan..




I love the beaches at PD so much. The water is so calm and it's really safe to swim . You can jump into the water anytime which is a NO NO here in the East Coast! Here, swimming can certainly be a very risky affair! It's South China Sea babe!

The best part during the trip was the 'makan' time lah of course..My brother brought us to a seafood restaurant in Pasir Panjang

Some of the food we ordered-Grilled squid and shrimps and also black pepper crabs . They are really delicious and cheaper than in Terengganu! We really had a wonderful time in PD and we would definitely go there again.. To me yg dah lama tak pegi PD mmg it is really a memorable trip....

Cowboy Town In Malaysia

I found out about this place called Eagle Ranch during my trip to Port Dickson recently. Some of you might have been to this place, I guess. Eagle Ranch is actually a themed resort filled with cowboy and western styled buildings. Accomodation at Eagle Ranch is unique and varies from kampung houses, log cabins, paddock chalets, huts and tepee tents. There are also dormitaries with double bunk beds.

Accomodation at ERR- a giant Bandwagon !!!


or you can spend the night at The Red Indians Tepee Tents. Bebudak memang suka duduk dalam tent camtu

The log cabin

What an experience..datang naik kereta -tido dalam bandwagon

Balik bilik naik kuda you..

Ada jugak kampung houses

The swimming pools at ERR

My children enjoyed feeding the rabbit

I snapped photos of flowers at EER

I have not seen this flower for so many years..Nama pun tak tau..

Ni pun tak tau namanya...It was very popular those days when I was small.

At Eagle Ranch Resort you can immerse yourself in a variety of sports and recreational activities such as canoeing, horse riding, jungle trekking, rafting, abseiling , archery and etc or you can simply relax and unwind!
