More popularly known as PD, Port Dickson is synonymous with sun and fun on the beach.
Situated a mere 32km from Seremban and 60km from Kuala Lumpur, PD has long been a weekend retreat for many inland dwellers, especially those from the city seeking temporary escape from the hustle and bustle of a hectic and stressful life.
Originally a town where charcoal was made and was once called Arang, it was later sought to
be developed as a port. While it never did develop into a full-fledged port, PD's popular beaches attract thousands of weekend visitors from the cities.
PD usually comes alive in August each year during the "Pesta Port Dickson". This annual
event draws in crowds from all over the country. This would be one great time to visit PD's beaches as there would be several activities and cultural events relating to the life of the locals.
Plunge headlong into a day of fun-filled leisure activities such as water-skiing, canoeing, snorkeling and wind surfing. Enquire at your hotel reception for arrangements to utilise these facilities. If you enjoy sailing, arrange to have temporary membership at the Yacht Club. |
