Seaside photography hunting at Jeram, Kuala Selangor

Tranquility (Explored)

Selangor is blessed with diversified landscape from jungle(eg Hutan Lipur Kanching) ,mountain (eg nuang), rocky hill (eg Bukit Tabur), paddy field (eg Sekinchan) and even coastal landscape along the seaside (eg Jeram, Kelanang). Jeram is located between Kapar and Kuala Selangor. Jeram is more famous for its seafood such as fresh grilled fish (ikan bakar), squid, and so on.

As with most seaside area, you can always find photography subject. These two picture is taken at Jeram beach along the seaside inner road.

To reach Jeram, the easiest is from Kapar. After around 15-20km you will see Jeram mosque beside a traffic light (there is only 2-3 traffic light along the way after Kapar so you couldn't miss it), take left, after few hundred metre before the jetty area there is a junction to the left, take left, then you'll see aroma ikan bakar on your right, along the way is Jeram beach.

These picture were taken during high tide. Both taken after the sun fully set. I intend to return to this place later during low tide. Credit to few photographer who has been here earlier than me such as Zilzal,Acid,Shazral, Arabischenab (especially zilzal who pointed the exact location of this subject).

Kuala Selangor - A fascinating diversity of landscape

In May last year, under the umbrella of JJCF we went for a photohunting trip to Kuala Selangor. Few car convoyed searching for photo opportunity along the coastal of Selangor. Kuala Selangor is an old royal capital of Selangor Darul Ehsan

Kuala Selangor Nature Park, our first stop

We start our journey from Shah Alam. Our first stop is the Kuala Selangor Nature Park, a mangrove reserve managed by MNS. The mangroves and mudflats area covers approximately 800 acres and is the home to various wildlife such as monkey, migratory birds and amphibian.

After spending few hours in the park, we went for a quick lunch at the town and head toward our second destination, the paddy field around Tanjong Karang. We choose this site as the paddyfield at Tanjong Karang area is nearer than the Sekinchan area.

Soon afterward, we went hunting for the sunset at Pantai Remis, also within the vicinity of Kuala Selangor. We initially hunting for a fishing jetty called Bagan Tengkorak (if not mistaken) but instead of Bagan Tengkorak, we found other jetty which is not favourable. So we went direct to Pantai Remis for the sunset.

In conclusion, Kuala Selangor offer a diversity of landscape. From mangrove area , to paddy field, fishing jetty and even the beach are available within single vicinity. I'm sure to return here to recapture the beauty of Kuala Selangor.
