Have You Ever Been To Port Dickson? - By: Allan Michael Taylor

If you are a Malaysian, you would most probably know where Port Dickson is located. But, if you are not, you might wonder where this town or even Malaysia is.

Malaysia has a number of beaches that are popular tourist haunts due to their clear blue waters and sandy white beaches. Among them, Port Dickson or PD for short stands out a famous beach resort for both locals and tourists alike. Since this town is situated around eighty kilometers away from the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, many Kuala Lumpur city folk love to spend a fun and relaxing holiday at PD.

One of the most well-known places for its beaches and water sport activities is Port Dickson or PD. It has a string of beaches located along its coastal road. To make things simpler, the PD road is called as first mile, second mile and so forth. So, how do you get to PD?

You can hire a cab to travel from Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia all the way to PD. If you want to save some money, take a commuter train to Seremban from Kuala Lumpur. From Seremban, hire a taxi to go to PD. For accommodation, simply book into a Port Dickson Hotel which suits you or perhaps, your budget.

Reaching PD is not difficult. If you arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), simply take a train to Seremban. Both Seremban and PD are situated in the state of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. From Seremban, you can take a taxi to PD.

So, give them a shot as well. You would most probably get a chance to sample all these food at a Port Dickson Hotel if you choose to reside in one for a couple of days to enjoy the wonders of PD fully. For souvenirs, you can shop at Teluk Kemang.

It is normally held on Saturday evenings. You can also bargain over some souvenirs to take back home. For a peek at the oldest lighthouse in Malaysia, visit the Rachado Lighthouse, located at the Tanjung Tuan Forest Reserve. If you walk up to the front of the lighthouse, you would be able to enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of the Straits of Malacca.

There are other local delicacies like 'cucur udang' and 'kuih kedok'. Visit Blue Lagoon, Teluk Kemang or any of the lovely beaches in Port Dickson to have a fun and relaxing holiday, and enjoy uniquely Malaysian food.
