This 356,800-ha park covers the southern tip of the Barisan range and just out as a spur into the Sunda Strait
The whole park is below 700 m, making it an excellent place to see lowland forest specialities, and it boasts spectacular coastal scenery. The best birding excursion is the 4-day circular trek from Tambung across the southern tip to Belimbing, returning along a new track, which follows the coast. There is an alternative return route from Belimbing via the caves at Way Paya, which could be good.
In the northern part of the park there is a trail that leads into excellent forest and across the peninsula from the PHPA post at Sukaraja.
