Dove Jetty, also known as Jelutong Fisherman's Wharf, is a temporary pier built by local fishermen to anchor their boats and store their nets, tanks and other fishing gear.
Although the Penang clan jetties are now secure because they are a part of the Core Area of Georgetown's UNESCO World Heritage Site, this was not always the case. With some significant destruction occurring in the 1930s and 1940s, encroaching development had always posed a serious threat to their existence.
Be cautious because there are still people living here. Therefore, it is better to visit here in the nights to take the greatest pictures.
