Maps for Sights Seeing and Hotels

From time to time, people asked me about what to see in Pengerang. I hope these few maps and hotel numbers here will be helpful to those who are going for a visit. 
(These maps and phone numbers are the courtesy of Pengerang Frontline and Kampungku Suaraku of Facebook.)

May be you can find the location of some temples at google map. (Link above.)
I personally think this map is very well done! Detailed and helpful description for your visit.




This is the area before Desaru Beach. I knew some of my friends from Singapore went to Sedili for home stay, retreat or to observe the nature habitat there.



This is for Desaru area. Bandar Penawar is the biggest town at this area. You will pass by here before Sungai Rengit. The sandy beach is a real treat for children. The wave is always a bit too strong from time to time though. I had never been to the museum, i hope i can drop by a visit some day.




This area is where people think of when you said Pengerang. The whole place will be gone and affected by the up coming petrochemical project (RAPID). There are land reclamation activities going on now, so if you are the first timer, you had missed the beauty of the place. Pengerang was a very calm and pretty escape just year before. (Click the Save Pengerang at the side bar to see the villagers efforts to save their homes and please supports if you can.)


This map is a bit blur, but gave the general ideas of the location of places to visit and some useful phone numbers.

边佳兰位于哥打丁宜县,由多个村庄组合而成,包括头湾(Kampung Jawa)、二湾(Teluk Empang)、三湾(Sungai Buntu)、四湾(Sungai Rengit)、五湾(Teluk Ramunia)、六湾(Tanjung Sepang)和七湾(Kampung Punggai),柔州最著名的海滨旅游度假区迪沙鲁和边佳兰靠得最近。

头湾处,有个连接马新两地国民的重点码头,叫做丹绒本哥利渡轮码头(Tanjung Pengelih),它与新加坡樟宜尾码头连线,供输送两地游客的小型渡轮靠岸,船程耗时不及半句钟。

每逢假日,当地会出现一个有趣景象——成群的邻国游客或穿上休闲运动服,或全副武装的户外运动服,扛着脚踏车乘渡轮到丹绒本哥利渡轮码头,从头湾骑车到迪沙鲁,享受阳光的户外运动。

渔村乡镇纯朴味:
二湾和三湾是小村庄,椰树和橡胶树肆意生长的基地;而六湾和七湾则是边佳兰度假村的集中营,这一带较著名的度假屋有Batu Layar度假村、D Punggai度假屋、Punggai Bayu度假村、Sepang Indah度假村、Sea View度假村、Titian Indah度假屋、Ramunia Sun Rising度假村、渔夫度假村等。

必须友情提醒的是,到当地度假村下榻的旅客千万不要带着追求五星级豪华享受的期盼前去,否则会换来无谓的失望。

当地的度假屋并没有进行华丽或大工程的人造建设,一切的设计都忠于渔村乡镇的原味,既纯朴又自在,你只要放松心情面对大自然就好了。

而六湾跟七湾之间就是西马半岛的最东南端,座落在四湾的东部,面向南中国海和新加坡海峡,从该处可眺望对岸的白礁灯塔。

边佳兰其他好去处,还包括著名的迪沙鲁鸵鸟观光园、迪沙鲁蜜柑园(一般称迪沙鲁水果园)、位于大湾(处于二湾和三湾之间)的草药园、位于五湾的鳄鱼园等,都是值得旅客驻足参观甚至耗上一整天时间浏览的地方。

五湾的迪沙鲁鸵鸟观光园是边佳兰相当具代表性的观光景点。园主郑国仁说,园里养了300多头鸵鸟,是号称全马饲量最多的鸵鸟园。

四湾岛的海鲜餐馆街:
如果你是专程为边佳兰的丰富海产而去的话,那四湾岛的海鲜餐馆街肯定是必到之处,老饕餮必会闻香而来聚集。单在这条街上,便有8家海鲜餐馆.

但逢周末、学校假期或公共假日,邻国旅客和本地游客都会蜂拥而来,其他日子的游客就比较少。

餐馆的招牌菜,当然是龙虾啰!单单一个龙虾,就有多种烹调方式,如上汤龙虾、龙虾沙律、麦片龙虾,其他海鲜料理还包括清蒸螃蟹、砂煲醉虾等。
