Getting Around Pangkor
Approximately 84 km south of Ipoh in Perak is the coastal town of Lumut - the jumping-off
point to Pulau Pangkor. Lumut is the home base of the Royal Malaysia Navy but seekers
go to Teluk Batik, located approximately 6 km from the town. This stretch of beach
is the haunt for campers, picnickers and water sports enthusiasts. The real attraction
here are the enchanting beaches on the Western coastline-Pantai Puteri Dewi, Teluk
Belanga, Teluk Nipah and Pasir Bogak, marvellous spots for swimming. It's a
bliss to live almost next door to Pulau Pangkor! Pangkor fully deserves the name
Beautiful Island as it is translated. Pangkor Island is, a small island on the North
West coast of Malaysia in the Straits of Malacca. We speak now of Pangkor as one
island but in fact there are nine islands in the direct surrounding. Pangkor and
Pangkor Laut are the two biggest and the only two inhabited by humans. On the islands
there's a variety of wildlife while the smaller atols are basically white sand
beaches and rocks. According to some legends there were even tigers living on this
small Malaysian island!
