What can you do in Lumut ?

After a walk around town, you'd be heading for the jetty and taking the ferry to Pangkor Island.

If you're around in the evenings, take a walk to the waterfront where the people are.

This was probably one of the newest building in Lumut. The Water Promenade and the new portion of the jetty was, in contrast to the buildings around, modern. There was a tower there and we attempted to go up to have a better view of the waterfront. But it seemed like the structure was not totally completed then and the access was blocked. But shops (dried seafood, clothes etc) at the promenade were opened.

The shophouses at Lumut contain some rather old shops worth a look. Take a walk at the provisions shops and and see the things that are sold there. They may bring you some interesting discoveries. The shops do not particularly target tourists so you can explore the premises at ease.
