The profile of trees and shrubs covering the hills and valleys with roots, branches and fallen leaves carpeting the forest floor makes this forest a haunt fo nature lovers. With it's abundance of flora and fauna, it is no wonder that many traditional medicine practitioners can be spotted scouring the woods for medicinal herbs and plants.

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.
