Tanjung Tuan, also known as Cape Rachado ('broken cape' in Portuguese), which is an exclave (foreign territory) that belongs to the Melaka state government and surrounds by Negeri Sembilan. Overlooking the Straits of Malacca is Tanjung Tuan near to Port Dickson in Negeri Sembilan with distance of 16 kilometers away. Alor Gajah Municipal Council (MPAG) is in charge of running Tanjung Tuan.

Tanjung Tuan is also known as Cape Richardo. The heights of Tanjung Tuan are watched over and guarded by a sacred fisherman who is likewise affiliated with Tanjung Tuan. When it was able to escape the vicious vortex in the center of the sea, particularly when the moon was floating, this sacred prowess was manifested. All the fishermen who attempted to cross the vortex perished in the water and vanished, but one holy fisherman succeeds in doing so.

Bukit Batu Putih Tanjung Tuan Melaka has the same name as a hill located in Gopeng Perak, but don't be confused about their location. Although the hill is actually located in the state of Melaka, its proximity in border of Port Dickson makes it better known as Bukit Batu Putih Port Dickson by a lot of peoples.

The other attraction at Tanjung Tuan is 'Monkey Bay' located at the downside of Bukit Batu Putih just only about 10 minutes tracking distance from the top side of Bukit Batu Putih. Visitors can discover here and enjoy the beach while taking photos around there.

At top of the Cape Rachado, there was a lighthouse that had been built on 1819 by the British initially with wooden structure. It then had been re-built in 1860 after it was destroyed in a war. Fishermen, commerce ships, and sailors can stop at the harbor with the aid of this lighthouse. Shahbandar Melaka is in control of it and maintains it up. In 1990, this lighthouse station just recently installed a radar for the purpose of monitoring traffic path of large ships in the Straits of Malacca.
