Nestled along the coast, fringed with mangrove forests, Crab Island (Pulau Ketam) is a tranquil fishing community just a short distance from Kuala Lumpur. The island’s two villages, home to approximately 6,000 residents, are characterized by houses on stilts, creating a unique and picturesque setting. Visitors can explore the stilted pathways and savor the local seafood, particularly the fresh prawns and crab, which are a highlight of the culinary offerings. This serene escape offers a stark contrast to the bustling city, providing a glimpse into a traditional and peaceful way of life.
