| Off the coast of
perak State, north of Selangor , lies a cluster of fabulous
islands with unquestionably some of the best coves and
beaches on the western coast of peninsular Malaysia. Among
them, two islands predominate in terms of accessibility,
infrastructure and development - the largest island, Pangkor
and her sister Pangkor Laut. Those who are not familiar
with the geographical locations generally confuse the
two. |
| Forty
minutes by ferry from Lumut, the popular island resort
of Pulau Pangkor (Pangkor Island) welcomes visitors
with its serene golden beaches, crystalline blue waters,
and cool refreshing breezes. Located about 90km south
west of lpoh, it is largely inhabited by fisherfolk. |
 |
They
live in scattered fishing settlements along the coast
especially on the eastern side, facing the town
of Lumut and Teluk Batik, and their catch comprises
mainly cuttlefish and anchovy. The modern facilities
make it an ideal gateway. A wide range of sun and
sea activities are available such as scuba diving,
wind-surfing, fishing, snorkelling. |
