The western coast islands, less popular than the those on the oriental coast, will delight the visitors who venture there. Easily accessible from Kuala Lumpur, they present a diversity of landscapes and auras as well as a rich cultural heritage.

In search of the west coast islands

Malaysia is a surprising country in every way. And the cluster of lakes linked to one another that go by the name of Tasik Chini will definitely live up to expectations! If this is not the case, then maybe the lake's monster will leave you speechless; rumour has it that it haunts the depths!

Unless you're interested in naval bases, I don't thing there's much else to do in Lumut. I spent a few hours here whilst waiting for a ferry to Pangkor Island. The town looks like any other in this part of Malaysia. There are a few beaches, but they're no way near as beautiful as others you'll find in the country. The Royal Malaysian Navy have set up their largest naval base on the Manjung River estuary. You'll see some impressive warships. Lumut is useful if you need to find somewhere for the night, so as not to miss the ferry to <a href="/malaysia/">Pangkor</a>. That aside, I don't see any reason to linger.
