Tanjung Ketapang, Muar

Tanjung Ketapang, Muar (11 September, 2016)


Tanjung Ketapang (GPS: 2.04637, 102.55041) is a seaside esplanade in Muar, Johor. It is one of the places in town where you can enjoy a sunset view. The place is within Tanjung Emas, near the mouth of Sungai Muar. To provide the locals with a green lung, the area has been spruced up into a public park called Taman Tanjung Ketapang.

The name ketapang refers to the tree Terminalia catappa, commonly known as beach almond, because it is often found by the seaside. It is noted for its big, red-colour leaves.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
