Tourist Attractions

Pasir Bogak

This is another stretch of beach, located just south of Teluk Nipah. It is rather a secluded beach, with a lot less of foot traffics there, making it one of the best beaches on the island. The Bogak Beach, like most of the beaches on Pangkor Island, has a beautiful white sandy beach, with crystal clear blue waters. There are shady trees growing on the beach and locals had set up some rustic wooden swings for everyone to enjoy. These trees also give shelters during time spending there, enjoying the windy, refreshing sea breeze. The beach is scattered with large and small rocks; thus, any swimming activities must be done with caution to prevent any unwanted accidents.

Though the trekking up to the hill is not that hard, it is advised to wear comfortable, long-sleeved clothing, and durable shoes for safety and also, preventing from leeches sticking to the skin as the jungle of the island is quite dense.
