Shahbandar Jetty Point, Kuala Terengganu: A Gateway to Redang Island

Shahbandar Jetty Point is a gateway to Redang Island. It is located  in front of Kuala Terengganu General Post Office and next to Shahbandar Square. There is a parking space for you to park your vehicles. This area was formerly Kuala Terengganu harbour. Now it is managed by the Marine Department. This jetty point is historic by nature due to its existence for many decades.
The jetty. Note: The ferry is parked by the jetty.
View of Pulau Duyong from the jetty.
The ferries that ply between this point and Redang Island have their own schedule, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. So choose the time that suit you most. I found there is not much seating areas for the public to relax while waiting for the departure. This is certainly uncomfortable to the patrons. Some walk to Bukit Puteri and around Touristic Information Centre.

The view from this jetty is quite good. You can see the waterfront of Pulau Duyong, the Monson Cup competition area. You also can see the Shahbandar Square. This area is part of the Kuala Terengganu tourist focus area.  Happy travelling.
