Port Dickson or PD to locals is a beach and holiday destination situated about 32km from Seremban and 60 km from Kuala Lumpur . It is located in the state of Negri Sembilan in Peninsular Malaysia . It takes one hour plus travelling by car from Kuala Lumpur on the North-South Highway to Port Dickson .
This small town used to produce charcoal , but it was later developed
as a small port by the British during the Strait Settlement period.
The 18 km extent of beach from Tanjung Gemuk to Tanjung Tuan is
a popular holiday destination for visitors as far as those from
Kuala Lumpur itself. Many Singaporeans have invested in holiday
homes in and around Port Dickson. Back
in the late 1990s, Port Dickson went through a boom of hotels
and resorts. Some of these projects never took off the ground
and the unfinished construction projects can still be seen along
the tourist town. |
