Pangkor Island is located near to Ipoh, and accessible from Lumut City. It is a popular local resort and can get very crowed at weekends and on public holidays, however the beaches are almost empty during the week. It has some of the west coast's prettiest and most tranquil beaches, authentic Malaysian fishing villages that have changed little in 50 years, and some great local food (especially the seafood).
The prominent landmark includes Pangkor Town, Dutch Fork, Fu Lin Gong Temple, Batu Bersurat, and of course, the beaches (Coral Bay and Pasir Bogak).
