Pangkor and her sister Pangkor Laut. Those who are not familiar with the geographical locations generally confuse the two. Located about 90km south west of lpoh then aboard by ferry from Lumut, this popular island resort of Pulau Pangkor (Pangkor Island) welcomes visitors with its serene golden beaches, crystalline blue waters, and cool refreshing breezes.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.

getting there:

By road
Access by road via the North -South highway to Lumut. If travelling from the south, exit at Gopeng interchange and turn left after Pangkor/Sitiawan/Batu Gajah signboard. Upon arrival in Lumut, you can see a ferry service counter there. Parking space are available here.

alternative; fly to Ipoh. It takes about 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur international Airport
By car
It is easy to travel to Pangkor by car.  From Kuala Lumpur to Lumut is about 250 km. You can travel to Pangkor from the North. It is about 200 km.
For driving from the KLIA-airport to Lumut, exit the airport using Airport Road. After about 3.km you will see a few green expressway signs. Follow the sign to Ipoh; Sungei Buloh. You are now on the North / South Expressway traveling North. 

Take exit 135 Jeram, Batu Gajah, Gopeng (km marker 297. From here it’s another 70 km to Lumut. Follow first the direction of Batu Gajah. You will see soon markers with Lumut and Damai Laut (white boards with green letters). The roads are generally in good condition though sometimes a bit small.

Alternatively you can follow the direction Klang – Teluk Intan. From Teluk Intan it’s another 80 km to Lumut. When you leave Klang, you can follow Teluk Intan and after you will find Lumut on the boards.

An additional note for you if you travel to Pangkor with your own car. There are many places to park your car. The price range from RM3 to RM10. Most of the car parks charge RM10 but try to park behind Hotel Indah (which is facing the sea) which charge RM3.

From experience, it is not a problem to leave your car there even for a week. But obviously you should take precautions like lock your car properly and if you have the steering lock, that would be even better.

Driving from the direction Pinang
If you are taking the North-South Highway, there are few exits that you can use. The easiest exit will be at Changkat Jering. If you take this exit you will be driving along the old road. There are some little towns on this route you will pass. Follow the direction Lumut, Sitiawan. At Ayer Terjun you take the junction to Lumut. It’s a straight road that passes Pantai Remis and Segari. Just before Seri Manjung you take the junction to Lumut.
Other exits are Kuala Kangsar, follow now the road to Kampong Tanjung and Ayer Tawar. It is possible to drive from Ipoh, take the exit Gopeng. Follow Batu Gajah (road number 5, Ayer Tawar and Sitiawan. You will find the instructions further by following the signs to Lumut.

By bus
To travel to Pangkor by bus you have to head to Puduraya. At this bus-station you buy your ticket to Lumut. The ticket cost about RM24.20 for a super deluxe VIP bus and take approximately 3 to 4 hours.

By boat
After arrival in Lumut, you have to take the ferry to Pulau Pangkor. The ferry leaves every 15 minutes during the day. It takes about 40 minutes to the ferry port of Pangkor Town.

There is no service to Pangkor Laut from Pangkor Town at Pulau Pangkor, so if you stay at Pangkor Laut, you have to request a private boat from Pangkor Laut to Pangkor or go back to Lumut and take the ordinary ferry.
By rail
There is no train to Lumut. If you want to travel to Pangkor by train you have to go to Ipoh. If you fly into Malaysia and you want to continue traveling by train, you have the option to take a train to Ipoh. The train is an excellent way to see Malaysia. Traveling by train is slower and a bit more expensive then by bus. Still, it’s comfortable. The journey from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh cost between RM 10 and RM 67. The difference is which class and which type of train you take.

From Ipoh it is still another 80 km’s to Lumut and Pangkor.
By taxi
Traveling to Pangkor, actually to Lumut, where you have to take the ferry, by taxi is easy. When you arrive at KLIA international airport, you can take a taxi all the way to Lumut. The ride takes about 3 to 3.5 hours. We can arrange a taxi to pick you up and drive you safely to Lumut.
 

pangkor island beaches:

Pantai Pasir Bogak
Pantai Pasir Bogak is a few kilometers away from Pangkor Town on the West side of the island. This beach is probably the most popular of the Pangkor beaches. It has been described as ‘the biggest swimming pool in the world’. the water is shallow and crystal clear. You will be able to arrange water-sport-facilities as jet-skiing, snorkeling or rent a canoe.
Nipah Bay/Teluk Nipah
Teluk Nipah or Nipah Beach is the most beautiful. This beach is located a few kilometers north Pantai Pasir Bogak. The beach is secluded and is able to maintain its natural beauty. Unlike other beaches, it has corals, sea cucumber and bird lovers can find the hornbill (burung Enggang) on this beach. Coral Bay, no doubt one of most beautiful beaches of Pulau Pangkor with its crystal blue waters. from Nipah Bay Beach has a beautiful view on two small islands called Pulau Giam and Pulau Mentagor. Both of these islands are not inhabited although you might find locals willing to bring you there. Giam is mostly interesting for snorkeling. The waters are shallow.

Pulau Giam with Coral Bay in the background
Both of these island have beaches too. If you’re really for some exercise, you can rent kayaks for a paddle out to these islands. There are hotels and resorts in the middle and lower-ranged budgets around Nipah Bay. In between the beach and the hotels there are small local stalls where, like Pantai Pasir Bogak you can try some of the local specialties. Typical souvenir shops are also available. For good accommodation, check: Horizon-Inn or the Nipah Bay Villa.
Teluk Ketapang
an exotic beach at Pangkor Island. Teluk Ketapang is sandwiched between the two more well known beaches of Pasir Bogak and Nipah Bay. There’s no place to stay at Teluk Ketapang. the beach is very nice. A large green grass field lies next to the main road and separates the sand beach from the road. It’s a great place for a swim and a view on the Straits of Malacca. There may be some boatsmen hanging around the pier and if you interested, they will give you a tour around the island.
Pantai Puteri Dewi
Just another few kilometers further north of Nipah Beach lies Pantai Puteri Dewi in the Belanga Bay. It’s just near Pangkor’s airport. The name Pantai Puteri Dew means literally Beach of the Lovely Princess. Access to the beach is restricted to guests of Pangkor Island Beach Resort. It is a bright white sand beach with crystal clear water. There’s some beautiful corals to see so don’t forget your snorkel. You can rent boats and snorkels at the hotel.

Teluk Segadas
a virgin beach at Pulau Pangkor. Teluk Segadas is one of the little known gems on Pulau Pangkor.  Teluk Segadas is a bit difficult to find. First of all, there’s no road to this beach. You have to take a taxi to Teluk Gedong. You will find the path at the board “Teluk Gedung”. There’s a path going into the hills which leads you directly to Teluk Segadas, In fact it’s short jungle trek of about 15 minutes. There’s a bit of climbing included. Bring food and water as there are no vendors at this beach (you don’t need a guide as the path is straightforward). the beach is abandoned so you have it all for yourself. In the bay the water is calm and not too deep, excellent for playing and swimming. The trees from the jungle come at a few places close to the waterfront and give shades. Together with a little breeze this makes Teluk Segadas the best Pangkor beaches.
Emerald Bay
Emerald Bay is located on Pangkor Laut. It’s maybe one of the most well known Pangkor beaches although not free accessible. You can still visit Emerald Bay but since Pangkor Laut is a private resort, the entrance to this beach (and to Pangkor Laut) for non-guests is RM 80.00. Having said that, Emerald beach is a beautiful horseshoe-shaped bay with clear water. There is fine coral to see. Equipment can be arranged at Pangkor Laut. If you decide to visit Emerald Bay, you first have to go to Lumut and there change boats for going to Pangkor Laut. Although Pangkor Laut is just opposite of Pangkor Island and no more then 10 minutes by boat from Pasir Bogak There’s no official boat or ferry available. This is because Pangkor Laut is a private island.

Backpackers in Pangkor
Budget travelers do not have to worry about cheap places to stay in Pangkor. There’s plenty. Apart of the resorts at Pulau Pangkor there are some fine cheap huts near the beach for backpackers available. The cheap places are usually “camps” which here at Pangkor usually means you will get a beach hut. The huts come with mattresses and fan. Bathroom can be attached. We found some nice places around Nipah Bay which are cheap and good values.
*The Nazri Nipah Camp
The Nazri Camp is located at Teluk Nipah. The Camp offers 10 small huts (RM 25) and 7 chalets (RM 40) available.
-All have fans and mattresses available.
-Some of the huts have attached bathrooms.
