About Tanjung Piai National Park
Tanjung Piai is the southernmost point of mainland Asia, at latitude 1ยฐ16' North. The 325 ha national park, set up in 1997 and listed as a Ramsar wetland of international importance in 2003, protects the mangroves and mudflats of the cape. A 1.2 km network of boardwalks leads through the mangroves, and Johor National Parks says it is one of the few places where you can see Singapore and Indonesia at the same time.
It is the smallest but most visited of Johor's national parks. Ship wakes once eroded the mangroves badly; offshore breakwaters and replanting have helped them grow back. Entry is RM5 for Malaysian adults and RM20 for foreign adults (students and seniors RM3 and RM10, OKU free), and parking is free. There is no direct bus: take a bus from Larkin to Pontian and a taxi from there, booking the return ride in advance, or drive. WhatsApp 013-744 0956.
