Beautiful Scenery Pangkor Island

Pangkor Island (Pulau Pangkor) has peaceful beaches and exotic and untouched natures. It’s on the west coast of Malaysia and less commercialized than Langkawi and Penang, It takes 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 is more used by locals because has one stop on the way. The ferry was not so fancy but quite good with an aircon. There were so many pink taxis 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 to Marina Island jetty by following the signboard of Teluk Intan and Marina Island.

We stayed at Nipah Bay Beach somewhere near the 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 quite fun you can see so many colorful fish. But the water is not crystal clean so be careful, only some spots of Giam Island are good for snorkeling, other spots have sea urchins.

We had both our lunch and dinner only at Dadd’s cafe. The food was so tasty, with stunning sunsets worth waiting long to serve the food.

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

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

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

We bought dried fish from the shops near the jetty complex, it was good.

Also, there is not much nightlife here.

Here on Pankor Island, the sunset is breathtaking,  we came back again.
