Jeti Tanjung Dawai Jetty

Follow the Merbok River towards the sea and there you will find a seafood lover’s heaven awaiting. At the mouth of the river is Tanjung Dawai, a well-known fishing village that enjoys the spoils of the sea and the nutrient-rich environment of the mangrove forests. Here it is simply impossible to get fresher seafood as you can have your meal straight from the sea, freshly caught by local fisherman and cooked with local herbs and spices at a restaurant near the jetty. The abundance of seafood also enables the production of popular Malaysian delicacies and conserves such as fish or shrimp crackers (keropok), dried anchovies (ikan bilis), dried cuttlefish and shrimp paste or belacan (widely used in Malaysian cuisine). Moreover, visitors may also take a 10-minute boat ride from the jetty to the Pantai Merdeka (Merdeka beach) located just the opposite side of the jetty.

《班茶》是吉打州著名的渔村，尤以生猛的海鲜、烧鱼（海鲜烧烤）和各种干制渔产如鱼饼、虾饼、凤尾鱼制成的江鱼仔、烘干章鱼、峇拉煎(belacan/以虾为主要原料的烹调佐料)等闻名。游客也可在这里购买新鲜的海鲜并带到班茶码头邻近的餐厅去让餐厅烹煮。此外，游客也可从码头乘坐10分钟的小船到码头对岸的避暑胜地—-独立海滨（Merdeka Beach）。
