Though not as popular as Teluk Kemang, Pantai Saujana beach do attract its own crowd particularly from guests of nearby hotels and resorts in its vicinity.

Located at the 3rd mile of the coastal road of PD, the beach is close to Hotel Seri Malaysia and Avillion Village Resort - currently PD's only resort built on stilt over the sea. Something interesting here is the replica of various giant size sea creatures (crab, prawn etc) that decorated stalls and kiosks along the beach.

"Your Fun In The Sun"

Port Dickson or just PD to the locals, is a popular beach situated 90 km south of Kuala Lumpur in the state of Negeri Sembilan. Port Dickson was named after Sir John Frederick Dickson, a British official, who founded and developed the town into a trading port in 1889.
Today the trading activities through the port have dwindled but the beach is a favourite weekend getaway for the city folks with many chalets, condominiums/apartments, hotels, and bungalows for rent. It is your fun in the sun retreat with many leisure activities such as water-skiing, canoing, windsurfing, and sailing along its 18km stretch of tree lined white sandy beaches that extend from Tanjung Gemuk to Tanjung Tuan. You can watch the sunset from any part of the beach in the evenings.
Getting to PD by road is a breeze. It is about an hour away from Kuala Lumpur connected by the North-South expressway (PLUS Expressway). If you are from Kuala Lumpur drive south to Sungai Besi Toll Plaza and use Exit 219 to exit the expressway at the Port Dickson Toll Plaza. After the Toll Plaza make a right turn at the traffic lights and follow the road signs. You'll be joining another expressway known as the Seremban – Port Dickson Highway at Mambau Toll Plaza and use Exit 316 at Lukut to proceed straight to Port Dickson.
