Tanjung Tuan Recreational Forest is located in the administrative area of Alor Gajah Municipal Council (MPAG) and is bordered with Port Dickson in Negeri Sembilan. It is about 20 minutes by bus from Melaka Town. The beach is a newly established recreational area for the whole family.
Various activities can be done here such as picnicking, boat riding, kite flying and swimming (at own risk). There are services like horse riding but it is chargeable.
Every morning, residence from the vicinity come to the beach to catch 'geragau shrimp' (a very tiny shrimp), which is in abundance from August to October. This activity is seasonal according to the monsoon wind.
'Geragau' shrimp is very popular in Melaka. They are made into 'belacan' (shrimp paste) and 'cencaluk' (shrimp sauce).
Every Sunday from 4.30pm to 6.30pm, there is a free "Dondang Sayang" performance.
There is a lot of food and fruits stall along the beach. This beach promises serenity and tranquility to relieve stress after a hard week of work.
