Tanjung Tuan (Port Dickson) Sunset Hike on Saturday, 6 June 2026 ... This hike is unique and rewarding, yet challenging where the forest meets the sea. Other than the forest trails, it has the beach view, rugged coastal rocks, hidden sea caves, beach glamping café tucked away in forest, and a viewing platform superb for sunset.

Beach glamping café tucked away in the forest
There are two routes to reach the summit of Bukit Batu Putih:
1. The Beach Route: Pass by the beach glamping café, followed by a steep rock climb to the top;
2. The Trail Route: Pass by the viewing platform, then use the installed ropes to ascend the final rock face.
To arrive at the hidden sea cave, the common route is to start from Cape Rachado Lighthouse. Be sure to check the low tide level first; otherwise, the cave could be submerged in water. Google "Tanjung Tuan Tide Time" for the website; the low tide level has to be 0.5 meter or lower in order to access to the hidden cave.
