From Kampung Sungai Bumbun the straight road goes on nearly forever through oil palms till you reach the end - the beach at Pulau Carey. There are a few ramshackle stalls (selling fish) fronting this mainly muddy, rocky beach though there is a small stretch of white sand. You see container ships on the far horizon plying the Straits of Melaka. At low tide the sea is really far out and there are families with children (and buckets) looking to find and harvest shellfish on the mudflats.
Swimming in the sea here is out of the question because the Straits of Melaka, it seems, is really rather polluted. But then the fresh sea breezes entice. So despite the stray dogs, M and I get out of the car to enjoy a few lungfuls of FSB. Huh? Fresh sea breeze, lah.
