★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not well maintained probably due to post covid lockdown. Nothing much to do.. make sure u carry food n water. Beautiful secluded beach to hangout.. not touristy at all so it's perfect. So ideal for family beach picnic!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wrong location. Luckily I did not give up. If you are using this to access to this place, park outside of saza beach villa, walk towards right ane along the beach. Then turn right up to the small road, you will see a staircase on your right. Dutch fort is over there.
Or access through the bridge from the floating restaurant. It's the easiest way.
I suggest the government develope this place as a piblic garden / park. Tho not well maintained, still a comfortable place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A well maintained abandoned fort. A vantage point of view at the top. There are a few old decorative cannon arrange strategically. Not for a long visit, only to admire the ocean view.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is located in the north-west corner of Melaka state on a headland on the south bank of estuary of the River Linggi and with a view of the Straits of Melaka.
Following a short war in 1757 between the Dutch, who occupied Melaka at the time, and the Bugis, who were vying for influence in this area, both sides agreed to jointly build Kuala Linggi Fort as a gesture of reconciliation.
The fort's strategic position served two purposes:
It marked the northernmost point of the Dutch sphere of influence, where Melaka state borders Negeri Sembilan, and
It enabled the Dutch to monitor and control all ship movements on the Linggi River and this stretch of the Straits. In particular, the shipment of tin ore from mines in the Linggi River and Rembau River basins would have to travel past this point where it could be intercepted and taxed by the Dutch (which was a bit cheeky seeing as Rembau was in Negeri Sembilan and not subject to Dutch rule).
The fort was manned by a company of mercenaries, probably sepoys from India which is the likely source of the word 'Supai', supported by a few Dutch soldiers.
This arrangement with the Bugis did not last long and the Dutch abandoned the fort soon after its completion.
