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.

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.
