Pangkor Highlights

Emerald Bay

Emerald Bay takes its name after the color of the water in this cool and inviting bay, which is emerald green. The 600 meters long stretch of pure white sand is located in a cove surrounded by the lush rainforest and most of the time is virtually empty, which renders it even more outstanding. There is a bar and restaurant on the beach, ideal for a drink during sunset. It is easy to go to the Emerald Bay. It is about 15 minutes on foot, from the Pangkor Laut resort or otherwise you can take the shuttle provided by the resort.
