Pantai Batu Rakit is famous for its fresh sead food ,the famous keropok lekor , otak-otak and satar, is on the unspoiled shores dotted with colourful fishing boat, beautiful crystal clear water and surrounded by lush green forest.

The scenery at the a lot of fishing villages adjoining to the beach can make you felt peace fully as , here you can see Fishing nets hung out to dry, rows of colourful batik sarongs lined washing lines – flapping in the gentle sea breeze with friendly fishermen

Its like a fiasta when large fleet of fishermen returning from they daily catch in the morning and in the evening.

Pantai Batu Rakit is a popular place, among the folk in the city of Kuala Terengganu and my mother to catch the coming home of fishing boats in the morning for fresh fish, crab and Prawn.

Here also is the place to looks for the stalls by the road which sell the most delicious “otak-otak” and “Satar” in the whole Terengganu and I mean its because I once live here!!

Even though there are many stall here that sell The Famous Keropok Lekor..they keropok is sory to say but not very tasty..

NOTE : There are better place to buy it as The Keropok here cant beat all the Keropok at Kampung Mengadang Lekor which is on the main road to Pulau Redang Jetty and the Keropok Lekor in Losong, Kuala Terengganu.
