On our way back from Pantai Kemasik... we stopped by this mangrove park, just outside Cukai Town, Kemaman. We had earlier spied its location online and on our journey north, so we decided to stop by before journeying back to Kuantan.

It was kinda hot, but Thank God, the mangrove park was all shady...

It looks like after 9 years after launch... things are starting to fall apart... Malaysia is better known for their starting rather then their maintaining... plus as a Taman "Rekreasi" Bakau Tinggi... ALAS! NO such 'recreation' facilities were around... maybe a kids playarea under the scorching sun is all there is to the 'recreation' provided...



But overall the walk around the man-made walkway thru the mangrove swamp was still pleasant... but if you were hoping for an informative journey... no hope... it's a "look only" walk... nothing to tell you about the species,history or biological information of the plants and habitat, the wiki link (above) is much better in this department.
