Tanjung Pengelih

Tanjung Pengelih is a coastal headland at the southeastern tip of Johor in Pengerang, Kota Tinggi District, overlooking the Johor Strait and Singapore Strait. It is notable for its strategic coastal location, the Royal Malaysian Navy base, and views across to Singapore. The area features a mixed rocky and sandy shoreline, coastal vegetation, and a historic lighthouse area. It marks the southeasternmost point of mainland Peninsular Malaysia and serves as a geographic landmark.

Visitors can expect a quiet coastal cape with open sea views across the Johor Strait and Singapore Strait. The headland is largely occupied by the Royal Malaysian Navy base with restricted access, so visitors experience the area mainly from surrounding public coastal roads and shoreline outside the fenced base. The setting includes natural shoreline, coastal vegetation, fishing village surroundings, and distant views of shipping lanes and the Singapore coastline.

Tanjung Pengelih has long served as a strategic navigational landmark at the southeastern entrance to the Johor Strait and the Strait of Singapore. It is the site of the Royal Malaysian Navy's Tanjung Pengelih Naval Base (KD Sultan Ismail), a key naval facility for southeastern Johor, and has historically been important for coastal navigation and maritime security in the region.
