Near the Blue Lagoon is Tanjong Tuan, formerly known as Cape Rachado, noted for a lighthouse built many years ago on a headland overlooking the Straits of Malacca. On a clear day, one can see Port Dickson town and the outline of Sumatra across the Straits of Malacca from this vantage point. The headland at Tanjong Tuan is a sanctuary for migratory birds and of great interest to bird watchers. The headland forest is an important landmark for migratory birds like sparrows, hawks, honey buzzards, eagles and swifts. In September till October and again from March to April, a large concentration of hawks and eagles can be seen.

The Blue Lagoon, which offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding greenery and the Straits of Malacca is located about 15km from the town of Port Dickson. The lagoon is favoured for swimming, boating, wind surfing and water-skiing. This is where the action is for fun in the sun. There are several international class hotels and seaside condominiums in the area.

This fort, about 30km from Seremban was built between 1826 and 1827 to provide a safe haven during turbulent times in the state’s history. The visitor has to go through many neat rubber and oil palm plantations to get there.
