Lumut, traditional Perak fishing village

Lumut is a fishing town whose call to fame is that it is the gateway to Pangkor Island. Lumut is where one can get a lot of the products associated with the sea, such as ikan bilis (anchovies), belachan (prawn paste), prawn crackers, fried cuttle fish, and so on. Lumut is also home to the base for the Royal Malaysian Navy, the biggest naval base on the west coast of Peninsula Malaysia.

Visitors to Pangkor Island can take the ferry from Lumut, which costs RM10 for a return journey. There are two companies operating the ferry services between Lumut and Pangkor Island, and they will try to get customers to take theirs. The price is the same, so compare the level of service and make your choice. The journey to Pangkor Island will take approximately 40 minutes.

Recent development in Lumut has been the contruction of the Lumut Waterfront Promenade. Construction began in 2004 and RM18.8 million was allocated to develop the seafront at Lumut for a public recreational park, including the Lumut Waterfront. The Waterfont project itself will cost an additional RM28 million and is projected to be completed by 2010.

Getting there

Lumut is not located near the North South Expressway. To reach it, exit the expressway at the Bidor Interchange (Exit 130) and then take the Changkat Jong Road (Route 58) to Teluk Intan, and followed by Route 5 to Lumut.

Getting around

It is recommended that you use your own transport, as public transport is not reliable here.
