Paka Town

This small fishing village that lies 10 km north of Kerteh town, 120 km north of Kuantan, and 110 km south of Kuala Terengganu has now transformed into a busy commercial area. Thanks to the discovery of oil in the waters off Terengganu, Paka now has emerged out of the shadows of poverty in the past. To reach Paka from the north one has to cross the bridge across the Paka River that flows lazily to the majestic South China Sea. Alongside the river you can still see the remains of the tranquil fishing village of Paka. The roads are now wider to accomodate the increasing traffic from the north and the south. Eventhough this town is developing at a fast rate, the government is carefull to maintain the scenic beauty of this place as it is listed as one of the country's tourist destination.
