Pangkor islands Travel Guide

Pankor is one of the little islands just off the west coast of Malaysia. It can be reached by ferry from Lumut or by plane from Singapore or Kuala_Lumpur. Whereas it used to be a favourite 'stop-over' for adventurers, pirates and European conquerers in the old days, these days the island is quarantee ticket for an excellent beach holiday.

The best beaches are on the western side of the island. Scattered over the island are small fishing villages and temples, such as the Taoist Fu Ling Kung temple. The island's main sight is probably the Dutch fort Kota Belanda (or rather, what's left of it).
