Pangkor Island

Pangkor Island is a Malaysian island located in the Manjung District of Perak. It has a population of around 25,000 people. Pangkor Laut Island, Giam Island, Mentagor Island, Simpan Island, and Tukun Terindak Island are all close by. Tourism and fishing are the island's main businesses. Pangkor Island has a land area of 18 km2 and is 3.5 kilometers from Peninsular Malaysia. The interior of the island is forested and is home to 65 reptile species, 17 amphibian species, and 82 total herpetofauna species.

Pangkor Island is a great place to visit if you want to avoid the crowds. This island, off the shore of Perak state on Peninsular Malaysia's west coast, has vacant beaches, beautiful water, and a dense jungle covering the center. Pangkor is a significantly more tranquil alternative than Langkawi or Penang and guests like the opportunity to tan under the palm palms without seeing another human. Visit the west side of the island to Nipah Bay and its quieter neighbor Coral Beach for the most popular beaches; for a really desolate beach, head to Tortoise Bay, which has no shops or structures other than a turtle conservation center.
