Latest reviews on Pangkor island's beaches

Teluk Nipah Beach
10 Andrew Lee

The shoreline of this beach is nestled in a serene and untouched landscape. Along the road that runs parallel to the beach, there are a handful of restaurants and food vendors to satisfy your cravings. As you indulge in a delicious meal, the breathtaking sunset paints a picturesque backdrop with the distant islands and fishing boats. While the beach is immaculately clean, it unfortunately lacks ample parking space.

The sunsets over the course of two days were absolutely stunning, especially since they were captured from various angles across different sections of the beach. The beach itself is incredibly convenient and easily accessible, as it is just a short walk away. Additionally, the well-maintained pavement makes strolling along the beach a breeze and adds to the overall appeal of the area. Furthermore, there are plenty of water activities available, such as banana boat rides, jet skiing, and boat rides. I will definitely be returning solely for the captivating sunsets and the peaceful sound of the waves. I kindly remind fellow beachgoers to please keep the area clean and well-maintained.
