Teluk Nipah during peak season
Pangkor Island is bustling with domestic tourists during peak seasons, such as Malaysian public holidays and weekends.
This video (30 seconds) shows the evening scene of the bustling Teluk Nipah beachfront.
*Background music will play while the video is playing.
While the beach is bustling with many tourists during peak season, it’s so quiet during off-peak periods like weekdays that it can be difficult to find an open restaurant.
So, if you’re having trouble finding a place to eat for lunch or dinner, please refer to the “Recommended Food & Restaurants" section *Note.
*Note : Currently, the link destination is displayed in Japanese, so I apologize for the inconvenience, but please use the translation function at the top or the translation function of your browser.
Bathing in a jungle waterfall
Whether this can be called a waterfall is another matter
🏃 Access
Head inland from the coastal road and follow the small sign that says “Water Fall" for about 5 minutes on foot.
Follow the black pipe that emerges from the jungle, entering the animal trail from the edge of the road, and continue following the pipe for about a minute to reach your destination.
*It seems that this was developed as a trekking course in 2022.
Whether or not this can really be called a “waterfall" is a question, but the water flowing from deep in the jungle is clean and cold, washing away the stickiness of sweat and seawater in one go.
You can see wild animals, marine life, and insects up close
If you look over there…
Teluk Nipah is home to a large number of wildlife.
Relatively easy to spot on land :
monkeys🐒, squirrels🐿️, and hornbills🦅.
If you’re even luckier, you might see sea turtles🐢 and dolphins🐬 at sea.
On the rocks of the sea :
Marine otters 🦦 and marine iguanas 🦎
In the jungle and grasslands :
monitor lizards 🐊 and Caucasian beetles.
You can see creatures that you don’t normally get to see up close.
*Monkeys🐒 may even steal your bag in search of food, so please be careful to keep an eye on your belongings on the beach.
Paradise for cats
This might be irresistible for cat lovers.
This is not limited to Teluk Nipah, but there are many cats on Pangkor Island.
The locals feed and care for cats whether they are pets or strays, so friendly cats can often be seen scurrying about at the feet of tourists walking along the coastal road.
If you’re lucky
Enchanted by the sunset
Beautiful sunset over the Straits of Malacca.
You can enjoy the sunset view while dining at a restaurant along the coast, or while swaying in a hammock on the beach.
On high tide days
At low tide, you can walk across to the offshore island of Giam, or have the crabs🦀 and shellfish🐚 you’ve caught while digging cooked for you in a restaurant, offering a variety of ways to enjoy the activity.
