Do note however, that visiting Tanjong Rimau requires quite a bit of planning. Not only do you have too make sure that you're wearing covered shoes that will protect your feet, you have to make sure that the tide is low and you're ready to trudge through water and mud!

To get there might be a little bit of a walk, but it's definitely worth it. Once you reach Beach Station, pass Eton House and then see the Radar Dishes, you're then going to have to walk a good 10 minutes to visit the fort!
