Port Dickson A Beach Resort Town
Port Dickson, on the west side of the Malaysian peninsula, is becoming one of the most popular destinations in the country for tourists. The city has some wonderful historical locations, but it also features pristine beaches and excellent accommodations for visitors. A mere one hour away from Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, Port Dickson boasts a population of almost 90,000 and is a wonderful place for a relaxing holiday.
There are several other ways to get there besides car. A ferry operates a daily route between Port Dickson and Dumai, Sumatra. Bus service is available from several different points. And the yacht club has a dock that can accommodate sailboats, cruisers, and yachts.
For those interested in history, the area has several sites worth a visit. The Cape Rachardo lighthouse is one. It was built in the 1500's by Portugal and remains in operation. A climb up the narrow, twisting staircase garners a tremendous view across the Straits. An interesting side trip is a rock-encased footprint that local lore tells is the footprint of a warrior who lived during the 1400's.
There is an army camp nearby, and next to it is the Muzium Tentera Darat. Aircraft, vehicles, and other gear once used by the Royal Malaysian Army is on display there. Fort Kempas is another popular destination, containing the tomb of Ulama Sheikh Ahmad Makhtum from the 1400's. Next to the tomb are inscribed stones that are said to depict the struggles he faced on his road to victory. One enigmatic stone is said to be a lie detector of sorts. And moving on to Fort Raja Jumaat, visitors can find a display of old muzzle loaders that were once used by the garrison to defend the fort, and more can be seen in front of the police station. There is also a royal cemetery and historic palace foundations.
Water activities can be arranged by the Fort Dickson Hotel or any of the resorts. Canoe trips, skiing, and snorkeling are popular pastimes, and if sailing is desired, the Yacht Club offers temporary memberships.
{{{There are many excellent restaurants in the city. Some offer traditional Malaysian or Chinese food, but you can even find a Mexican restaurant in town. Most of the hotels also have dining rooms.
As befits an excellent tourist town, Port Dickson has many fine restaurants. Seafood, along with Chinese and Malaysian food, are popular, but the city also boasts an outstanding Mexican restaurant. Some of the hotels and resorts have their own dining rooms.
Restaurants featuring western style cooking can be found, and there is even one specializing in Mexican food. Traditional Asian food is also popular, as is seafood. In addition, many resorts offer restaurants or dining rooms.
A Saturday night market near the center of town offers a unique shopping experience. Fish and fresh produce is available, but you can also find such items as tee shirts and souvenirs.
The district was once famous for its production of tin and charcoal. However, past operations have not impacted the scenic beauty of the area. Beaches remain clean and lovely, and the jungle is still very much alive. More hotels and other types of facilities are currently being built, and there are some major projects planned that will further increase the popularity of Port Dickson as a tourist destination.
