Port-Dickson.com dwells into the historical background and how it came about from the time it was a small fishing village to the internationally recognized beach side resort. Being one of the most happening beaches in around Malaysia. This small town was formerly a place that produced charcoal and was slowly developed into a port during the Straits Settlement era under the British. Formerly known as Tanjung, Port Dickson still hosts some pre-war structures that can be found in around Jalan Lama. In a nearby town of Lukut is where you can find some Tin ore. This was one of the early Chinese settlement during the early 1800s and was identified later by the British to have the potential to become a great port. Hosting almost 100,000 locals here, Port Dickson have since evolved into becoming one of the major tourist destinations in Malaysia as a premier beach side town due to its close proximity with the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. Being a typical beach side town, Port Dickson is lined up with a long stretch of sea side resorts and hotels. The beaches here are divided into a few sections, like the Batu 5 beach, the Si-Rusa beaches, Bagan Pinang Beaches, Teluk Kemang Beach, Tanjung Tuan and other smaller beaches. The Blue Lagoon is one of the popular tourist haunts particularly during the 80s and have since lost its attraction due to pollution and more upscale resorts being developed in other areas. located about 15 kilometers from the town centre, the Blue Lagoon still have a great sea side view for those who would like to get away from the public beaches found in abundance in around the stretches. Tanjung Tuan or Cape Rahardo is where you can see the Cape Rachardo lighthouse built by the Portuguese in the 1700s. the construction of the lighthouse was intended to guide ships to the Malaccan Port which until today is still in operation. Due to its seaside nature, Port Dickson is also home to various army quarters and training camps. Hence you will be able to see an Army Museum here known as the Muzium Tentera Darat which is situated near the Malaysian Army Camp. Fort Lukut and Fort Kempas are some other attractions that you can find here as well. |
