Pulau Ketam

Literally called "Crab Island", this rustic fishing village attracts visitors with its unique stilt-village where the wooden board streets are just five feet across and the traffic consists largely of pedestrians and bicycles. Basically a fishing village, inhabitants here are fishermen or involved in the fishing industry. Activities here center on "kelong" (traditional fishing huts) fishing, crab farming, jellyfish farming, and shrimp processing. The area around it consists of mangrove swamps and marshland birds are plentiful.
