Once on the island, follow local signs to Coral Beach, which is approximately a 15-minute drive from the ferry terminal.

For those using public transport, take a bus from Kuala Lumpur to Lumut. Buses are available from Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) and the journey takes around 4-5 hours, costing approximately RM35-45. Upon arrival in Lumut, you can take a taxi or Grab service to the ferry terminal. The ferry to Pangkor Island will cost you about RM10 one way.

Taxi or Ride-sharing
If you prefer a more direct route without the hassle of public transport, you can opt for a taxi or ride-sharing service like Grab.
