Upon our arrival, the entrance to Tanjung Piai was flooded due to high tide. This phenomenon only happens on certain days in November and December. About an hour later when we were leaving, the flood was over and no one would have imagined that picturesque scenery earlier. What a lucky day!

Malaysia Peninsular National Parks, Johor, Tanjung Piai
丹戎比艾国家公园, 柔佛州属, 马来西亚半岛
Covering an area of over 926 hectares, the national park consists of coastal mangroves and intertidal mudflats. Almost 526 hectares of land here is mangrove while the rest is inter- tidal mudflats.
According to Wetlands International, Johor holds 28.7% of mangrove forest in Peninsular Malaysia (27,733 ha) or 4.7% of total mangrove forest covers in Malaysia. Gazetted as a RAMSAR site in Januari 2003, the park is managed by the Johor National Parks Corporation*. (* source: Johor National Parks)
Its 8 kilometres shoreline borders the Straits of Malacca. The park also supports a wide variety of flora and fauna.
The Long-tailed Macaque peered cautiously as we sauntered across the boardwalk. It’s mischievous grin plastered all over its face. Be wary of the monkeys, sometimes peering from the treetops and sometimes following you about the park, probably in search of food. Just don’t get too friendly with them.
There are also other species of monkeys here such as the Dusky leaf monkey, shy and elusive to see. There are however sea gulls roaming the skies above the park, and other migratory birds.
Look too, for the mischievous hermit crab sliding in the muddy soil; little molluscs like creature scamper about looking for food while the tide recedes. There are lizards, cockles, and the jumpy mudskipper – the mangrove is indeed, an amazing ecological haven!
Park rangers are frequently roaming around the park on their trusty bicycles, ensuring the safety of visitors’ to the park.
Spending a day at the park is certainly a refreshing experience. The soothing calm of the waves and the endless greenery is spot on for nature enthusiasts. Do remember to read the following tips, and you’re set for a wonderful mangrove experience!

Stranded Whale Which Found In Pontian Johor Was Likely Suffered From Injuries
Stranded Whale Which Found In Pontian Johor Was Likely Suffered From Injuries
The whale that was found stranded on the beach of Pantai Rambah Recreation Park, near Pontian, Johor last Monday was likely injured, causing it to be separated from its herd and stray into Malaysian waters.
Universiti Malaysia Terengganu's dean of the Faculty of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Dr Mazlan Abdul Ghaffar said the whale would have most likely suffered from injuries caused by ships at sea that affected its ability to move and its internal navigation system.
The whale was estimated had swam as far as 90 nautical miles from Pontian, before being stranded in the estuary of Sungai Sarang Buaya.
It was still alive when fishermen first found it and subsequently died after being stuck in the mud, about two hours later.
The whale, measuring 12 meters in length, is listed as an endangered species in the international union for conservation of nature.
The peaceful Pontian beach
The Pontian beach is rocky and peaceful. It is near to hotels and restaurants.
