1. Coral Beach

If one like walking on Pristine, clean, sandy Beaches this definitely "fills the bill"!! While the "Caribbean style" beach is about 500 yards/meters long, it is also tree lined [provides enough shade] and the offshore island limits "strong" wave activity! There are also food stalls and local restaurants and convenience stores nearby should one be thirsty and/or hungry!
Its a most memorable beach!!

This temple is in a lovely position at the end of Coral Beach. You can walk along the beach or follow the track from the road to access the Temple. Slightly faded Disneyesque characters in cement with paths and steps up to the traditional Temple at the top. Nice place to sit and watch monkeys.
5. Pangkor Island

Pangkor Island can be easily reached by ferry [running every 30 minutes] from Lumut, Perak [which accessible by inexpensive buses (less than $10) from Kuala Lumpur and Penang]. What struck us immediately was the absence of disposed bottles and paper! Our favourite place is Nipah Beach-- because of the lovely Beaches, peacefulness, food stalls and restaurants. It is on the NW side of the Island and asy to reach from the ZFerry terminal!!.
6. The RAHMAT Maritime Museum

This is the type of tourist attraction that you don't go to everyday so it's worth having a look when you are in Lumut. However there are some serious issues that stop me from giving the highest recommendation.
Considering that they are charging an admission fee, there doesn't seem to be much spent on maintenance. The inside is stuffy and the air feels stale. Many parts are rusty. There is also a serious safety issue. In other countries, safety precautions are usually in place. There were no security guards and safety structures in place and considering that we saw children playing around, the place is just waiting for an accident to happen.
That aside, once you get on top, you have a nice view of the seashore. You can also sit on the captain's chair.

We went during a long stretch of holidays recently. The place is well maintain but definitely needs more tourist traffic. Slight off the Lumut main bazaar, it offer nice view of the bay. Plus side, do visit KD Rahman Maritime Museum. It's worth a visit for warship buffs.

Enjoy a beautiful sunset cruise or day cruise with lunch/dinner to Pangkor Island on the luxury 38' sailing catamaran
Reviewed By martinSinSyd
We were lucky to have a week of mostly Sunshine and were able to explore quite a bit of Lumut and Pangkor Island. But the 2 day 1 night trip we booked with Heather and Rod on their catamaran was the the absolute highlight of our short vacation.
Pangkor Island is beautiful and we enjoyed our scooter rides there but seeing the island from sea gives it an extra dimension. We stopped in a lovely bay, had a great lunch on shore, lovely dinner on board and then slept amazingly well in the comfortable cabin. There was a nice breeze and we never felt hot or seasick.
After a hearty breakfast the next day we set off to another lovely deserted beach where we went for a swim and snorkel.
Rod and Heather are great guides and a lot of fun to talk to. They are both very experienced sailors and "showed us the ropes".
The only downside was that we couldn't spend more time on the boat but we will definitely go for another sail next time we are in Pangkor.
10. Dutch Fort (Kota Belanda)

This place is good to stop by for few minutes when you are travelling around the Pangkor island (e.g.on motorbike). The fortress itself is not a real fortress anymore, just a preserved small ruin with nicely maintained surrounding. which is situated not directly at the coast (it is on the other side of the road). Despite that you can still see the sea from it (at least a little bit). There is also a canoon or two in the front square. On the right side there is a small souvenir shop.
