SITIAWAN |

|
Buses from many parts of the State arrive frequently in Lumut at the Bus station which is opposite of the Lumut Jetty. Cars must be parked on the mainland. There are a number of car parks in Lumut. There are no bridges connecting the island to the mainland due to the policy to control the number of vehicles on the island partly because there is no real necessity and space constraintss. Buses also stopped at Manjung bus station which is the new heart of Manjung.
Those who drive will have opportunities to stop by the road side hawkers trading various vegetables, fruits and drinks.

Further down the road, is the increasingly popular Teluk Nipah. Accommodation here caters much to the middle to lower-ranged budgets and can be a little dissapointing to those who have something of a romantic notion of island getaway in mind. Chalets, restaurants and motels line the streets and even the small alleyways and during the peak seasons, it's jam-packed with tourists. The main road lies between the beach and the motels and chalets so don't expect to get any rooms on the beach itself.
From the beach, you can also take a short boat ride to the nearby islands the area for snorkeling area at Pulau Giamand Pulau Mentaggor and if you're really for some exercise, you can rent kayaks for a paddle out to these islands. |
