Kukup, Johor

Kukup (GPS: 1.32687, 103.446) is a small fishing village in Pontian District, on the southwest part of Johor. It is on the west coast of Johor, about 40 km from Johor Bahru.

In the past decade, Kukup has become a tourist destination attracting visitors from Johor Bahru and Singapore who come to view the rural way of life. A number of seafood restaurants have been established here to cash in on the influx of tourists to Kukup. Many of these restaurants are built on stilt above the water.

The village of Kukup is located on the coast overlooking Pulau Kukup, an island off the coast.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
