Cape Rachado Lighthouse

#portdicksonguide Cape Rachado Lighthouse, perched within the Tanjung Tuan Forest Reserve near Port Dickson, offers a blend of history, nature, and quiet reflection. As Malaysia’s oldest lighthouse, it stands as a sentinel over the Straits of Malacca, surrounded by lush greenery and accessible via a shaded uphill trail that winds through tropical forest. While the lighthouse itself is not open to the public, the surrounding area provides scenic viewpoints and a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for birdwatching or simply soaking in the sea breeze. The journey to the top is part of the charm, with the sounds of wildlife and rustling leaves accompanying each step. For those seeking a mix of light adventure and historical intrigue, Cape Rachado Lighthouse is a rewarding destination that captures the quiet majesty of Malaysia’s coastal heritage.
