Teluk Bahang Jetty, 20 days after the 26 Dec 2004 tsunami (15 January 2005)
Teluk Bahang Jetty is a fishermen jetty or pier jutting out at the
End of the World, in
Teluk Bahang, on the northwestern coast of Penang. It was built for the use of the fishermen in the area.
The Teluk Bahang Jetty was badly damaged by the tsunami which hit the area on 26 December, 2004. In the aftermath of the calamity, the entire bay area was strewn with debris.
Eight years after the tsunami, the Teluk Bahang Jetty has been repaired. A new, steadier broadwalk has also been constructed alongside the original jetty. The jetty reaches the park office of the Penang National Park.
