Pangkor Island, Perak, Malaysia

About 10 to 15 minuters, we arrived at Pangkor Island.

Pangkor Island - 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. (From Pangkor.com)
