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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
