Trekking through this beautiful forest, you may come accross an old tomb at the peak of Bukit Kurau. There is also a bay where you will find many shrimp-netters casting their nets which doubles up as an area is filled with villagers looking for kupang (a kind of cockle, delicious when cooked sweet-sour). At high tide, a beautiful view of several offshore floating decks can be seen from the forest. These decks, installed with wooden stools, are a favourite among anglers.

Nearby this recreational park, you will find food stalls operating late into the night. Located amidst a fishing village, this stalls offer delicious mouth-watering dishes (grilled or otherwise) of fish, shrimps, crabs and squids fresh from the sea.
