Pulau Kukup measures approximately 647 hactares, and is surrounded by some 800 hactares of mudflats. It lies a stone’s throw away from the 150 year old fishing village of Kukup in Pontian, in an area steeped in history.
An important regional trading post at the turn of the century, Kukup is synonymous with tales of vanquished pirates, enterprising early pioneers, an abrupt decline in fortunes that very nearly reduced the place to a ghost town, and its subsequent revival as a modern-day tourist hub.
