Off the coast of perak State, north of Selangor , lies a cluster of fabulous islands with unquestionably some of the best coves and beaches on the western coast of peninsular Malaysia. Among them, two islands predominate in terms of accessibility, infrastructure and development - the largest island, Pangkor and her sister Pangkor Laut. Those who are not familiar with the geographical locations generally confuse the two.

They live in scattered fishing settlements along the coast especially on the eastern side, facing the town of Lumut and Teluk Batik, and their catch comprises mainly cuttlefish and anchovy. The modern facilities make it an ideal gateway. A wide range of sun and sea activities are available such as scuba diving, wind-surfing, fishing and snorkeling.

( Peta Pulau Pangkor ) |
DI PULAU PANGKOR
Perjanjian yang termeterai di sini
telah mewarnakan lanskap minda
bangsaku tanah airku Tanah Melayu
setelah bertahun-tahun di pulau ini
membina kubu segala persiapan
Belanda kecundang pulang
lnggeris melaungkan kemenangan
Walaupun tidak kutemui
peninggalan union jack di sini
namun musim pergi dan datang
pendatang dahulu mewarisi bumi
pendatang sekarang menimba rezeki
Hujan belum reda di pulau ini
sejak semalaman berderai di dedaunan
kapal-kapal berlabuh kepenatan
ikan-ikan berenang riang di tepian
Pangkor kian berubah alam
setiap terbit matahari mendatang.
