RUINS OF DUTCH COLONIAL FORT

If you want to take a break from the white sandy beaches, consider dropping by the historical Dutch Fort right in the heart of Pangkor. It is the only historical site there. The Dutch Fort is basically the ruins of a building once used by the Dutch as a storage of tin supplies hundreds of years back. The fort is set on just a short distance from the Pangkor beach.
