Tok Bali

Tok Bali is a small fishing port in Kelantan, Malaysia, located about 48 kilometres from Kota Bharu.[1] In recent years, it has served as an alternative departure point for tourists to the Perhentian Islands. Taxi drivers are reportedly given a hefty commission for delivering passengers here rather than the main departure point at Kuala Besut, further south.[2] The village's main source of income is fishing.

The Marine Department has allocated RM5 million for development through the East Coast economic region, including for further developing Tok Bali as a base for fishing boats and tourist boats to the Perhentians and Pulau Redang.
