Pulau Lemukutan is one of the few islands in the Bengkayang Regency with developed community-based ecotourism focused on coral reef preservation.
The waters surrounding the jetty reach depths suitable for shallow-water snorkeling immediately adjacent to the shoreline.
The pier is constructed primarily of wood and serves as the social hub where local fishermen and tourism operators coordinate daily boat departures.
Dermaga Teluk Cina serves as the primary gateway for travelers arriving at Pulau Lemukutan, a renowned diving and snorkeling destination in West Kalimantan. The wooden jetty structure provides direct access to the island's clear, coral-rich waters. It functions as the central point for boat moorings, connecting visitors to local homestays and coastal settlements. The surrounding marine area is part of a protected conservation zone known for its diverse tropical fish and vibrant reef ecosystems. The structure itself is a simple, functional pier that marks the transition from the open sea to the island's internal village infrastructure.

Bring your own snorkeling gear if you prefer specialized equipment, as rental options at the jetty are basic.
Prepare for minimal shade on the jetty; wear high-SPF sunscreen and a hat during the midday heat.
Ensure you have cash for local boat transfers, as digital payment infrastructure on the island is limited.
Avoid walking on the exposed sections of the jetty during low tide when the wood may be slippery and navigation is restricted.
Access is highly dependent on sea conditions; boat services may be suspended during high-tide storms or rough monsoon seasons.
Dress modestly when entering the village area from the pier; remove swimwear cover-ups in accordance with local cultural norms.
