Tanjung Lumpur
A fishing village across the mouth of the Kuantan River, famed for grilled fish and seafood restaurants, with a nearby mangrove boardwalk where you can spot fiddler crabs and mudskippers.
Tanjung Lumpur lies on the southern bank at the mouth of the Kuantan River and is linked to the city centre by a bridge. Grilled-fish stalls cluster around the river mouth, where you can choose fish, prawns or squid to be grilled fresh and served with sambal chilli sauce, at prices lower than in town. The mangrove boardwalk is nearby. At low tide you can see fiddler crabs, mudskippers and waterbirds, and look across to the 188 Tower and the city skyline on the opposite bank. It is about 10 minutes by taxi from the city centre.
Opening hours
Grilled fish stalls mostly open evening to night
