Pangkor Holidays

Across the Manjung straits opposite Lumut is the bustling fishing village of Pulau Pangkor, the largests of nine islands in a small group of islands.  Pangkor, with its quaint mix of fishings settlements and resorts is a fascinating holiday venue.  It presents the visitor the rare chance to live near fisherfolk and observe their lifestyle or to simply enjoy the fine beaches and resort amenities.

 

The fishermen live in scattered settlements on the eastern side, facing the town of Lumut and Teluk Batik and visitors get a chance to see some of them on the 40-miunte ferry ride from Lumut as the ferry stops at the main settlements of Sungai Pinang Kecil and Sungai Pinang Besar before landing at Pangkor Town.

Pangkor's two popular beach areas of Pasir Bogak and Teluk Nipah offer sun and sea enthusiasts activities like scuba diving, snorkelling, wind-surfing and fishing.  While Pasir Bogak is quite built up.  Teluk Nipah still retains its kampung atmosphere.  The island has accommodation to suit every budget and visitors can hire vans and motorbikes for island sightseeing.  Food is available in most locations around the island and there are some good seafood restaurants in Pangkor Town itself.
