Description

A giant bright-blue lobster marks the Old Town pier, looking gloriously peculiar against the wooden waterfront. It is not a grand monument; it is a giant crustacean with excellent commitment to the bit.

The statue sits beside the departure point for boat transfers and island trips, so it earns its photo-stop status while you sort tickets, bags and sunscreen. Public toilets and check-in points are here, which is more useful than most oversized seafood sculptures manage.

Give it five minutes, take the daft photo, then walk the Old Town waterfront. Chinese-style shophouses, weathered piers and seafood restaurants on stilts do the serious visual work nearby.

Low season leaves the pier quiet and spacious, with room to look across the water without a flotilla of elbows. The monument itself has a battered finish, but that slightly faded blue lobster fits Old Town’s rough-edged waterfront better than a polished civic masterpiece ever could.

Highlights
