Kukup is a small Chinese fishing village. To us, it is a place for cheap seafood. And we had seafood there for about S$35.00 - 2 salted crabs, oyster egg and bean sprout with salted fish, drinks. The food is quite nice.
There were quite a number of so call resorts in Kukup. However we did not notice any Caucasians around and they probably won't be around due to the smell of drying shrimps.
Kukup serves as one of the entry point for people taking a ferry from Indonesia.
After Kukup, we travelled to Tanjong Piai, about 10 mins drive away. Tanjong Piai is the southern-most point of West Malaysia.
Must say it was a disappointment though there were traces that it was probably a popular camping and trekking site. The signboard says that there is a fee one has to pay but nobody was there to collect the entrance fee. When we entered the place, we know why.
The place is run-down. The camping area looks like it has not been used for many many months; if not years. The paths for the trails are intruded by plants and be prepared for mosquitoes.
There we saw a wild mangoose, a stork (I think) and while driving away, a monitor lizard.
Not a place I would recommend. At least not in the near future.
