Lumut

The gateway to Pangkor with the ferries and other attractions
Lumut is a harbor town and stations the National Navy biggest base on the west coast of Malaysia. You won't be able to visit the naval base (as a foreigner) but you will see the base on the left hand when you take the ferry speedboat to Pulau Pangkor.
Lumut is a small town, basically a one street town. On the main street, there are local shops, restaurants, banks, a few bars and some of the hotels. There is a small (tourist) market opposite of the ferry building.

Originally the villagers made their living in the fishing industry. Some of the locals are still fishermen. However, many of the locals work these days in the tourist industry. Others find their work at the nearby Lumut Port.

The town can be used as a great base to explore Pangkor but gives also the opportunity to explore the surrounding mainland. And this is well worth!

There are some excellent hotels and western styled restaurants which are popular with the foreigners who work in the nearby plant.

There's a Tourist Information Centre which is located just across the road of the new ferry building next to the Pangkor Laut office.
