Beautiful Scenery Pangkor Island

Pangkor island (Pulau Pangkor) has peaceful beaches, exotic and untouched natures. Its on west coast of Malaysia and less commercialize than Lankawi and Penang, its take around 3 hours from KL to Jetty. With the new jetty at Marina Island it only takes 10-15 min to Pulau Pangkor but the Lumut jetty  takes around 45 min which more used by local because has one stop on the way. The ferry was not so fancy but quite good with an aircon. There were so many pink taxi waiting outside of the port on Pangkor Island ready to take visitors to their hotels. And the price was only 15 RM for each route.

How to get to Pangkor Island:

From KL; Take the North South Expressway, heading to Ipoh. Exit at Bidor Toll Plaza. From Bidor town keep on the journey through the trunk road all the way to Marina Island jetty by following the sign board of Teluk Intan and Marina Island.

We stayed at Nipah Bay beach somewhere near coral bay area which easily has access to all tour booths and water sports providers.
Also this area is near Giam Island which is famous for snorkelling.

Furthermore snorkeling at Giam Island is quiet fun you can see so many colorful fish. But the water is not crystal clean and be careful, only some spot of Giam Island is good for snorkeling, other spots has sea urchin.

We had  both our lunch and dinner only at Dadd’s cafe, their food was so tasty, plus the location on the beach, with stunning sunsets and nice views over to Pulau Giam well worth waiting long to serve the food.

we had sea food salad ,Daddy’s chicken chop and fish and chips.

Most wanted monkey! he came out of nowhere and stole my fish and chip! 🙁

Also we visited “Lin Je Kong” Chinese Temple, its only 10 minutes walk from cafe.
And our last stop was a Dutch fort which was built in around 1670.

We had no time to go to dried fish factory but bought dried fish from the shops near jetty complex.

Pangkor has one fancy resort “Pangkor Laut” which has own island and beaches, the other hotels and motels are simple and basics. Also there is not much night life here.

Here in Pankor island sunset was breathtaking and spectacular, definitely we come back again.
