Pangkor, with its charming mix of fishing settlements and resorts, is a fascinating and
convenient holiday destination. It presents the visitor with a rare chance to live near
fishermen and observe their lifestyle and also to simply enjoy the fine beaches and resort
amenities. The fishermen live in scattered settlements on the eastern side, facing the
town of Lumut and Teluk Batik. Visitors get a chance to see some of them on the 40-
minute ferry ride from Lumut as the ferry stops at the main settlements of Sungai Pinang
Kecil and Sungai Pinang Besar before landing at Pangkor Town. Pangkor’s two popular
beach areas of Pasir Bogak and Teluk Nipah offer sun and sea enthusiasts’ activities like
scuba-diving, snorkelling, wind-surfing and fishing. While Pasir Bogak is quite developed,

still receives turtles on their egg-laying pilgrimages. Some of the resorts on the island

Kellie Smith in the 20th century. Being far away from home, Kellie desired his new
residence to be reminiscent of his home back in Scotland. The castle is perched on top of
a hill in what used to be a rubber estate. William Kellie Smith was an interesting man who
was popular with his South Indian workers. Kind at heart, he erected a Hindu shrine for
his workers on the castle premises. As a token of appreciation, his workers erected a
