Pangkor Island - Nov 2011

The island of Pangkor is just a 40-minute ferry ride from Lumut, which is easily accessible via Ipoh. It's a low-key resort island noted for its fine beaches. These can be visited via the road running around the island. The jungle-clad hills of the interior, though, are virtually untouched.

At 8 sq km, Pangkor is a small island, but that hasn't stopped the state government from trying to promote it as one of Malaysia's main tourist destinations. Fishing and dried fish products are still a major industry for the island, particularly on the east coast, with most tourist development confined to the west coast.
