CRAB ISLAND - SELANGOR

   

PULAU KETAM (CRAB ISLAND)

MALAYSIA

 

 

 

Literally translated as 'Crab Island', this traditional fishing village is basically a whole community living on a wooden island. This off-shore island located opposite Port Klang is mostly filled with houses made of wood and built on stilts. The pedestrian way comprises wooden planks which are just five-feet across. Common traffic are people, motorbikes and bicycles. Noted for its seafood restaurants, there are boat tours available on the island to take around this tourist attraction in Selangor.

 

A couple of small hotels allow for overnight stays but this place is more popular with day-tippers. Fishing and bird watching tours are available. There is a ferry service to the island from Port Klang and the crossing takes about one hour and the main attraction here is the fresh and delicious seafood.
