Just a short distance away (about 100 m on the left) from Dutch Fort, there lies a giant boulder next to the road that signifies a legend. It has an inscription ‘1743 I.F.CRALO’ and the initials ‘VOC’ (Veerenigde Oostindische Compagnie – The Dutch East India Company), and the image of a tiger. The boulder is covered by a pink roof.

The water is clear and the beach is clean. In fact, you won’t go wrong as long as you are on the west side of Pangkor Island. Coral Beach is slightly secluded but if you like somewhere which is more crowded, head to Nipah Beach. There are many stalls lining up both sides of the street and is more crowded. If you love beaches, you must come here!

The center collects turtle eggs from the beach nearby and place them in the hatchery area of the center.

Restoran Sun Hon Siong 新汉商酒楼
142, Main Road, Ayer Tawar, Perak.
Opens from 10am – 10pm
Closed alternate Mondays
The famous dish is sweet and sour pork rib. You can order the dish prepared together with fish fillet. Besides that we ordered belacan kangkung, Foochow fried spring roll, and seaweed soup.
If you are fussy with cleanliness, you might have to skip this restaurant as it is not a 5-star restaurant in cleanliness. But then again, most restaurants in Sitiawan are in similar condition though.
