Beserah is a fishing village and is well-known for salted fish. But what many people do no know is a very unique practise of the Beserah fisherman: they employ water buffaloes (which are not normally seen on the beach for they are always used to plough paddy fields or to pull heavy carts), to transport fish from the boats to the processing area.

It is situated 10 km from Kuantan, it also boasts a batik factory, many cottage handicraft workshops producing items made mostly of sea shells and plant materials (dried nuts, leaves).
