Pangkor, with its charming mix of fishing settlements and
resorts, is a fascinating and convenient holiday destination. It presents the
visitor with a rare chance to live near fishermen and observe their lifestyle
and also to simply enjoy the fine beaches and resort amenities.
The fishermen live in scattered settlements on the eastern
side, facing the town of Lumut and Teluk Batik. Visitors get a chance to see
some of them on the 40-minute ferry ride from Lumut as the ferry stops at the
main settlements of Sungai Pinang Kecil and Sungai Pinang Besar before landing
at Pangkor Town.
Pangkor's two popular beach areas of Pasir Bogak and Teluk
Nipah offer sun and sea enthusiasts activities like scuba-diving, snorkelling,
wind-surfing and fishing. While Pasir Bogak is quite developed, Teluk Nipah
still retains its kampung or village atmosphere. Teluk Ketapang or Turtle Bay
still receives turtles on their egg-laying pilgrimages. Some of the resorts on
the island also have excellent golf courses on their property.
