Pangkor Island lies just off the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It’s known for beaches like Teluk Nipah, Coral Bay and Pasir Giam, which connects to coral-ringed Giam Island at low tide. Back to 1670, the ruined Dutch Fort demonstrates the island’s strategic colonial importance. Nearby, the Sacred Rock is inscribed with the Dutch East India Company symbol and a picture of a tiger carrying away a child.

The easiest way to get to Pangkor Island is by ferry. The Marina Island Jetty Complex, which is located in Lumut, provides direct ferry services to Pangkor Island. From here, the journey to Pangkor Island takes around 15 to 30 minutes.

Pangkor is a small island off Perak. It is about 18km long. One cannot bring in their own car. The island is narrow and steep in certain area of the island.
