Pangkor Island is a small island off the coast of Perak on the north west coast of Peninsula Malaysia. The island is only 8 square km in size but has an abundance of white sandy beaches, clear blue waters, beautiful corals and fantastic opportunities for a range of water sports such as snorkelling, jet-skiing and sea fishing.
Other activities include canoeing, jungle treks in Pangkor Forest Reserve or visiting the food stalls in Pangkor town which offer local favourite dishes.
The island is a tranquil haven for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
