Trip to Pangkor Island : Teluk Dalam
Teluk Dalam (Dalam Bay)
Teluk Dalam Resort is your paradise by the sea. The delightful, rustic ambience here is made more exquisite by the chalets, bungalows and villas. These feature kampung - styled architecture, and are furnished and equipped in a manner to help make for your total comfort and pleasure.

Trip to Pangkor Island : Pasir Bogak Beach
Pasir Bogak video from my Digicam
This is the most popular seaside resort of Pangkor. It has been described as the biggest swimming pool in the world. The water is shallow and crystal clear, offering endless hours of fun and frolic in the sunkissed sea along the vast coral reef. It is accessible by road from Pangkor Town. The 2 km crescent shaped beach offers a host of facilities such as sailing, fishing, snorkelling and wind surfing (available at Sea View and Beach Hotels) making Pasir Bogak Beach a more popular recreation spot for the local population.
Trip to Pangkor Island : Nipah Bay

Nipah Bay (Teluk Nipah)
Further down the road, is the increasingly popular Teluk Nipah. Accommodation here caters much to the middle to lower-ranged budgets and can be a little dissapointing to those who have something of a romantic notion of island getaway in mind. Chalets, restaurants and motels line the streets and even the small alleyways and during the peak seasons, it's jam-packed with tourists. The main road lies between the beach and the motels and chalets so don't expect to get any rooms on the beach itself.
Trip to Pangkor Island : Giam Island
Giam Island can be seen from Teluk Nipah Beach. From the beach, you can also take a short boat ride to the nearby islands of Pulau Giam and Pulau Mentaggor and if you're really for some exercise, you can rent kayaks for a paddle out to these islands.
Trip to Pangkor Island : Tortoise Bay
Tortoise Bay, Pangkor is located beside of Nipah Bay. You can walk from Nipah Bay or rent a car, motorbike or taxi anywhere from Pangkor Island.
Trip to Pangkor Island : Sacred Rock
A short distance from the fort is Batu Bersurat (Sacred Rock). On this massive rock, drawings of a tiger mauling what is believed to be a child can be found. Local history has it that the boy was the son of a Dutch dignitary who disappeared and was believed to be attacked by a tiger.
Trip to Pangkor Island: Dutch Fort
Kota Belanda / Dutch Fort
At Teluk Gedung lies the 330 year old stone foundation of a Dutch Fort built in 1670. It was one of the Dutch strongholds against pirates and local Malays. Actually, during the Dutch occupation in the 17th century, tin supplies from Pangkor and the mainland were stored for protection in this fort. As time goes by, the locals were unhappy with the treatment of the Dutch. So, they managed to destroy the fort sometime in 1690. This is not the end because the Dutch then returned in full force to rebuild the fort.
After which, 60 soldiers were commissioned to protect the fort until 1743, when it was finally abandoned after a local warrior, Panglima Kulub, and his followers attacked it. Later in 1973, the National Museum undertook its reconstruction to restore as much as possible the remains of the fort for the benefit of tourists. Located at Teluk Gedung village, slightly south of Pulau Pangkor. Just ask the village folks for directions and they will be just too glad to oblige.
