A resettlement scheme for Cocos Islanders is situated a few kilometres away, near Giram Oil Palm Estate (Sime Darby Berhad). A jetty is situated about five km from the town, in an area named Pengkalan Kunak. A single road lined by wooden shophouses (possibly a squatter colony) leads to the jetty and wet market.
