🦐🌅 Rustic Seafood Feast & Sunset Views at Kukup

Tucked at the southern tip of Johor lies Kukup, a sleepy fishing village with big seafood flavours and one of the most charming sunset views around. We drove down for a late afternoon seafood feast and weren’t disappointed — think fresh prawns, chili crab, fried squid and lala cooked kampung-style in humble, sea-facing restaurants built on stilts. The vibe was refreshingly rustic — no frills, but that’s exactly the charm. 🌊 As we ate, we watched the tide roll in beneath us and caught a stunning sunset over the water. It’s moments like these that make you forget city life for a while. 📍 Getting There: Kukup is about 1.5–2 hours by car from Johor Bahru and is a popular detour for those en route to Pontian. ⸻ Pro Tips: • Go before 5pm to secure a good waterfront table for dinner. • Bring cash; some eateries may not accept cards. • Wear comfy sandals — it’s a bit uneven walking on the wooden planks. #summervacay #kukup #seafoodmalaysia #hiddengemsmalaysia #kukuptrip #rusticescape #johoreats #fishingvillagevibes
