Port Dickson has always been a perennial attraction for locals in need of a convenient holiday spot. Fondly referred to as ‘PD’, this quiet coastal town is located just 32 km away from Seremban and 80 km away from Kuala Lumpur.
This makes it a very accessible sea-side destination, nearer than other beaches for city-folks from the Klang Valley. In addition, PD’s beaches are not confined to a single spot, but the whole length of the road that runs along the coastline to PD are potential beach-side relaxation areas.
Getting There
Port Dickson can easily be reached by car, cab or bus from Kuala Lumpur via the North-South Expressway. At the Seremban turn-off, a separate expressway links the main highway to Port Dickson, which enables you to reach the town in a matter of minutes. Alternatively, you can take the trunk road from Seremban which will allow you to see many country-side sights.
