Port Dickson Activities

Malaysians love to throng Port Dickson’s beaches at weekends because of its range of activities and affordable accommodation choices. Water sports enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice as they can rent jet-skis, banana boats and canoes while fishing fanatics will find that it is a good place to cast a line. From the shores of Lukut to the hidden lagoon in Tanjung Tuan visitors to PD are sure to have a splashing good time.

Lukut

Situated a little over four miles from the seaside town of Port Dickson, Lukut was once a thriving tin mining area in the 19th century. However these days the town resembles a sleepy pueblo with only sightseeing attractions like Fort Lukut and the museum to draw in visitors. Nevertheless, most people don’t realise that it is a favourite hotspot for fishing fanatics.

Kuala Lukut Fishing Kelong

The Kuala Lukut Fishing Kelong is a haven for fishing enthusiasts as this little spot has plenty of game such as stingrays, double spotted queen fish and pomfret in its tranquil waters. The jetty of Kampung Kuala Lukut and the area around the Fishermen's Depot are also good places to fish.
Location: Kuala Lukut, Chuah.

Tanjung Tuan

Tanjung Tuan is essentially a coastal forest composed of both rainforest and mangrove swamps. The waters along the shores of Tanjung Tuan are rich with corals, thus making it a favourite gathering ground for marine aquarists. Gazetted as a bird-watching park, this seaside haven boasts an impressive lagoon in the middle of the forest reserve known as the Blue Lagoon. This sanctuary is the best spot for swimming, boating and windsurfing and is home to Monkey Bay which features beautiful corals in its sparkling-blue waters and is the perfect spot for a little snorkelling and diving adventure.

The Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon, a beach hideaway shaped like a crescent moon, is a serene hidden oasis in Tanjung Tuan that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding lush greenery and the sea. To the left of the beach is Cape Rachado Forest Reserve while the rest of this wide expanse of sand is dominated by visitors staking out a claim for the best sun and surf.
Location: Situated on the 11th mile of Port Dickson’s coastal road.

Monkey Bay

Water sports enthusiasts will be floating on cloud nine on the Blue Lagoon. The ideal spot for swimming, boating, windsurfing and water-skiing, the lagoon is also home to Monkey Bay. Located approximately 500 metres away from the beach it is the best place in Port Dickson to see coral. A quiet and secluded spot, it is a favourite haunt of visitors seeking solitude and serenity.
Location: Located within Blue Lagoon, Port Dickson.  

Telok Pelandok

Featuring harsh gravel and pebbles on its beach instead of white sand Telok Pelandok – located near Tanjung Tuan – isn’t the most beautiful stretch of beach in Port Dickson.
