In a nutshell
Modern Compact Tourist Town
mansionion Says: Not really a must see but do check out the navy base if you have time to spare. The Royal Malaysian Navy base here is said to be one of the most modern in the region. It is equipped with army facilities, port and wharf, accommodation, a hospital, a museum, an officers and...

Bei King Restaurant: Fu Zhou Cuisine

Jooks, joint, 2x. Rockafellas, Capri: Not much for westerners
Davidhil Says: Not very much to do in Lumut at night. It is basically the parking lot for Pangkor island goers. There is for westerners one pub/rest. called Jooks, which is not bad, not very busy though. Also Rockafellas, which is not bad, has free pool table but quiet except friday night,...
BorneoGrrl Says: There isn't much to do at night in Lumut besides do what the locals do. Have pulled tea and a late supper at the local coffe shops. If you are looking for other entertainment like karaoke, you'd have to go to the neighbouring SitiawanThere are some small western themed...

yipsufen Says: Lumut town offers regular ferry services to Pangkor Island at just RM4.00 (return fare) per person. Once on Pangkor, you can take a bus, taxi or even hire a motorbike to reach your favourite destination.
Shops in Lumut: Products from the sea
BorneoGrrl Says: With its fisherman population, you can find many shops selling dried sea products which are quite popular with the locals as snacks or ingredients for cooking. The prices are fairly standard and quite cheap Dried calamari & fish, fish crackers and other preserved food...
Shops in Lumut town: Sea themed souvenirs
BorneoGrrl Says: Since Pulau Pangkor is just a stone's throw away, you can find sea or island themed souvenirs available from many shops in Lumut town. There are colorful batiks, T-shirts and keychains to buy and you needn't bargain too much
Lumut has a number of industries and is surrounded by small villages. Therefore, you have to be a little careful when driving on the road. You will meet many heavy trucks, villages on motorcycles (no helmets, btw) and other "stuntmen" whizzing up & down the highway
My colleague had a self-accident when he tried to avoid an elderly man on his motorcycle. Luckily no one was seriously hurt.

Helpfulness
You might end up in another hotel on the other side of the river !
They always advertise it as Lumut, but poor you, be warned ! If you really enjoy the quiet of that place which is almost 20km away by road ( but only 3 km by boat ) then do not complain.
Unique Suggestions: Very quiet place, but nice for children.
No shopping. Mostly jungle environment. Very good for avid golfers ! The Golf Course, I mean.
So you would have to enjoy the natural environment.
A good escape from the city, anyway.
Fun Alternatives: Better proceed straight to Pangkor Island
Updated Jul 7, 2005
BorneoGrrl Says: Pulau Pangkor is easily accessible from Lumut town itself. Simply take a ferry from Lumut ferry terminal and within 45 minutes, you will be in Pulau PangkorThe last time I was there, I paid RM10 (US$3) for the ferry ride. Quite cheap!!
BorneoGrrl Says: If you are bored out of your brains in Lumut, you can drive under half an hour to Sitiawan to experience a "bigger" town and other entertainment options. Sitiawan has a bowling center and it's not expensive to play there
