Pulau Pangkor (Pangkor Island), the most popular holiday destination in Perak, welcomes visitors with its serene golden beaches, crystalline blue waters and cool refreshing breeze. Located off the shores of Lumut town, about 90km southwest of Ipoh, this island definitely makes an ideal gateway .Modern facilities and a wide range of sun and sea activities such as scuba diving, windsurfing, fishing, and snorkelling are available!!!
There are a few little fisherman's villages with traditional Malaysian houses. The little food stalls in Pangkor Town and the other villages have some of the local favorite dishes while the more up market hotels offer a range of Asian and Western food including excellent local coffee, cuttlefish and anchovies, the locals call it ikan bilis and no nasi lemak meal will go without it.
The real attraction here however are the enchanting beaches on the western coastline Pantai Puteri Dewi , Teluk Belanga, Teluk Nipah, and Teluk Cempedak are marvellous for swimming or just basking in the sun, in complete privacy admist tranqull surroundings.
With its serene golden beaches, crystalline green water, vibrant tropical forests and cool refreshing breezes, Pangkor Island remains a haven for those seeking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It comes as no surprise that Pangkor Island has for centuries been a welcome stopover for voyagers, pirates, and adventurers throughout history. Yet the island's natural wonders have remained unscarred,
and her environment remains as tranquil and beautiful as ever.
The accommodation here is quite affordable for budget travellers although not quite as cheap as what can be found on Tioman.
For the more upmarket traveller, there are a number of resorts and hotels scattered around
in quieter ends of the island with private beaches for guests to explore and relax without
the hassle of touts roaming about selling boat rides etc. Then, of course, if your ideal
holiday is to hide yourself away from the crowd, have your own space and just be...
then Tiger Rock is a great place to unwind.
