a malaysian campervan journey: Cape Rachado ( a.k.a <b>Tanjung Tuan</b> )

Posted: 15 Jul 2011 09:02 AM PDT

Cape Rachado is also known as Tanjung Tuan, is a peninsular at the resort town of Port Dickson in Malaysia. The tip of the peninsular is a protected natural forest, it is also the site of the oldest functioning lighthouse in Malaysia. Built by the Portuguese, it witnessed the naval battle between the Dutch and Portuguese when the Dutch attempt to wrest control of the Strait of Malacca from the hands of the Portuguese. Today the lighthouse still serves its designed purpose, it used be accessible only from the beach but a paved road has since been built to make access a lot easier.

I took my campervan to the cape for an overnight stay. Leaving my home on Friday night after work, I drove to Port Dickson and reached there around 11pm. The next morning, due tight time constraint I was unable to spend much time there,  but I did managed to walk up to the light house to enjoy a great view of the Strait of Malacca. Port Dickson suffered badly from over development, but this place managed to preserves the natural beauty of the coast line that is missing from the rest of town where hotels and apartment choked the sea front. I will be back to this place for a longer stay.
