Also known as Pulau Pangkor, Pangkor Island in western Malaysia is an idyllic destination if you need a relaxing beach holiday. It’s in the state of Perak and is reachable within a short ferry ride from the town of Lumut.
Once in Pangkor Island, don your most comfortable outfit and explore. Check out the various fishing villages and go snorkeling at Pasir Bogak Beach. You can also visit cultural sites throughout the island. One of these is the Dutch Fort or Kota Belanda, which is the ruins of a 17th-century warehouse.
Alternatively, you can treat yourself to a lazy day on the beach. To ensure that you can stay close to the island’s beautiful shores, scroll down for the top beach resorts in Pangkor Island, Malaysia.
What to look forward to on Pangkor Island:
- Animal lovers may want to try feeding the hornbills on the island. The guided activity is close to Teluk Nipah Beach and happens around 6:30pm to 7pm. All you'll have to do is hold your arm out and let the birds come to you! I think this seems like a fun activity, so don't miss out and remember to take pictures!

Beach life in Pangkor Island
To enjoy the best of Pangkor Island’s beaches, visit Teluk Nipah, Coral Bay, or Pasir Bogak. These beaches offer clean white sand and sparkling waters. Other than swimming, beaches in the area also offer a host of watersports, such as banana boat and jet ski rides.
But if what you’re really after is some quiet time admiring the sea, head to Teluk Segadas. It’s a lesser-known beach without food or beverage options nearby, but it provides the perfect swimming conditions and even makes an excellent campsite.
Additionally, don’t forget to try the island’s well-known seafood products, including anchovies and dried fish.
