The coastal stretch around Port Dickson in Negeri Sembilan, just south of Kuala Lumpur is a popular holiday and weekend picnicking destination for locals escaping the city. While the beaches may not be as idyllic as others in Malaysia, the shaded beachfront, shallow waters, proximity to Kuala Lumpur and delicious seafood, combine to attract thousands of local holiday makers. Resort hotels, apartments and golf courses add to Port Dickson's relaxed atmosphere. Further south, at Tanjung Tuan (Cape Rachado) there is a historic lighthouse. Twice a year, migratory Honey Buzzards, arrive and depart from here on their flight to and from the neighbouring Indonesian island of Sumatra and beyond. Seremban, the capital of Negeri Sembilan is jus 45-minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur. |
