Tanjung Piai National Park
Tanjung
Piai is an environmental sanctuary, where the earth, sea, plant and
animal life exist in complete harmony. This park is home to many
species of birds and mangrove dwellers like mangrove crabs, beady-eyed
mudskippers and crab-eating macaques. Located 90km south of Johor
Bahru's city centre, Tanjung Piai also features a National Park that
gives visitors a glimpse into the mangrove dweller's natural habitat.
Entrance fees are RM3 for Malaysians and RM5 for foreign visitors.
These entry fees are payable at Tanjung Piai's visitors' complex. Platforms
have been built through the park so visitors can enjoy these mangroves
in comfort. This peaceful park has become popular as a camping
destination, in recent years.
