Pangkor Town & Jetty
Pekan Pangkor
The fishing town on the east coast where ferries arrive, lined with shops selling dried fish and prawn crackers. It's the best place to buy seafood specialties.
Pangkor Island's gateway and main town. Ferries from Lumut dock at the jetty. The streets are full of shops selling dried fish, dried prawns, anchovies, shredded squid and sardine chilli sauce, and you can taste before you buy. The town has Chinese tea houses, seafood restaurants, and stands renting motorbikes and pink taxis. Most island tours start here. The island's residents are mainly Chinese fishermen of Fujianese origin, so the streets have an authentic fishing-village atmosphere.
