Kg. Jubakar Pantai is also known for its historical past. It is the site of the Jubakar Tin Bridge which was built by the British before the Second World War to transport tin. During the booming tin trade, the tin was transported from a place called Bukit Besi in Temangan to the freight ships at the port. The bridge has not been in use since the 1960s but the structure remains as a relic of Tumpat’s past.
