Pangkor Island

The west coast of Pangkor is famous for its beaches, resorts and hotels for tourist accommodations. The popular beaches there include Pasir Bogak, Teluk Nipah and Coral Beach. The east coast of Pangkor is where all the local residents live, and where many of them work in the local foods and fisheries activities, including the dry fish factory, boat workshops, and fish farm.

There are no bridges connecting the island to the mainland because a policy exists to control the number of vehicles on the island to prevent road congestion. However, there is a jetty that has ferry operator services which connects the island with the mainland. The ferries depart from Lumut to Pangkor Island.

The attractions on the island include the Fu Ling Kong temple, the Sri Pathirakaliamman temple in Sungai Pinang Besar village; Batu Bersurat, Tiger Rock, the Dutch Fort (Kota Belanda), the tombs in Kampung Teluk Gedung and Tortoise Hill.

Days in Pangkor are as wonderful as paradise, nights in Pangkor are as sweet as honey. I miss Pangkor, where I had the opportunity to enjoy the magnificence of nature. Remaining in my mind is the feeling when I first stepped on the wharf and the surprise of finding a green Malaysia.
