Tan Jetty

Tan Jetty, part of the historic Clan Jetties in Georgetown, Penang, is a captivating waterfront location known for its rustic wooden walkways and stilt houses stretching over calm coastal waters. Photographers are drawn to its peaceful atmosphere and traditional charm, with sunrise offering the best light as warm hues reflect off the water and illuminate the weathered textures of the jetty. Long exposures work beautifully here, capturing the stillness of the sea and the soft movement of clouds. Located just off Weld Quay, Tan Jetty is easily accessible on foot from Georgetown’s heritage core. Respect for local residents is essential, as the jetty is still home to members of the Tan clan.
