Air Papan (GPS: 2.516, 103.83351) is a town in Johor. It is 15 km north of
Mersing a short distance from the border with Pahang. It is a good place to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the waves rolling in from the South China Sea.
There are chalets here for rent, and every year on 1 May, there is Pesta Air Papan, a fun fair. Apart from that, the town becomes quiet again for much of the year.
