The Fishing Village | Sg Pinang Kechil, Pulau Pangkor |
Pulau Pangkor is only about 4 - 5 km from north to south, and 2 - 3 km from west to east at its greatest. There is a road round the island, mostly near the beach and you can go round the whole island in 20 minutes.
There are lots of hotels to choose from, and food and services are cheap and of reasonable quality.
Sungei Pinang Kechil is the name of the first stop of the ferry to Pangkor Island.
It is a fishing village mostly populated by Chinese fishermen. They are building a new jetty some distance away from the present one. |
