An Unforgettable Island Escape

Pulau Pangkor (in Malay) or Pangkor Island is an absolute hidden gem in Malaysia. It is halfway between Penang and Kuala Lumpur on the Malaysian West Coast within the Straight of Malaka.
The fine sand beaches are seemingly deserted during weekdays and the warm water is a pleasure to swim in for hours. There is a huge variety of fish swimming around the shallow water near to the granite outcrops found at the ends of all the beaches. Of course they can be found near the piers but beware of boats operated by fisherman and tours to the harder reach small islands! The visibility is not so good in the deeper or unsheltered water because of currents, so do not swim too far from shore.
There is much to see besides the beaches. The Lin Je Kong Temple is one place but it is also on the way to one of the best hidden beaches Coral Bay about 15 hike along the rocks near the water. There is an old Dutch fort, a turtle breeding center, the Masjid Al-Badr mosque situated on the sea, Fi Lin Kong Temple, shopping in Pangkor (Blue eyes Paradise Center) and a nighttime good stall market. I recommend renting a motorcycle while on the island to drive around and see the many different beaches and to get to some local restaurants.
There are lots of areas to stay but if you are coming for the beach it is always nice to walk just a few minutes for a swim. It is an unspoiled paradise and I highly suggest you see it NOW!
