The island is home to a few small fishing villages mainly scattered around the east coast. The main village just past the Pangkor Island Jetty offers a wide variety of fresh and dried seafood and souvenirs crafted from seashells and local materials.

This privately owned island is the 'little sister' to Pangkor Island and the perfect getaway for an exclusive holiday. No intrusion from tourists except resort guests and staff. The villas are designed in traditional Malay style and positioned around the bay. Each villa has a large private balcony and oversized bath that opens onto the sea.

Here, the shallow crystal-clear water enables you to easily see the vast coral reef. Here you will also find great fish restaurants.

Facing the small island of Giam, when the tide is out, you can walk through the shallow waters to the island.

This exotic bay on the coast is accessible by bicycle and motorcycle from Pasir Bogak, Teluk Ketapang and Teluk Belanga. This is the best beach on the island and a must visit for relaxing in the sun by the clear waters.

At Teluk Gedung lies the 300-year-old stone foundations of a Dutch Fort. Built in 1670, it was one of the Dutch strongholds against pirates and local Malays. The fort was abandoned after it was attacked by a local warrior, Panglima Kulub, and his followers. Muzium Negara undertook its reconstruction in 1973. Today, only the stone foundations and carvings on a large rock left by the soldiers remain.

Exotic flora and fauna abound in this area. Rare orchids can be seen along the jungle trek. Butterflies tamely land on outstretched palms. Colorful birds can be seen perched on the trees and you may catch a glimpse of monkeys swinging from the branches.
