Goes by many names

Back in the older days, Port Dickson was known as ‘Tanjong’ in Malay Language (it refers to cape). The oldest shop lots in PD were located along Jalan Lama. Since there were also carbon mine near Jalan Pantai, locals also called Port Dickson as ‘Arang’ (it means charcoal).

Origins of Port Dickson

Realizing its potential as a harbour, the British decided to develop PD in order to replace the existing Pengkalan Kempas. Since the officer in-charge at that time was Dickson, the town was given the name, Port Dickson.

Over the years, Port Dickson did not develop much as a port but it turned out to be a popular seaside recreational and relaxation destination. In the beginning, PD was catered to British officials and their families as a unique resort town. Years later, the town has even attracted locals particularly after independence in 1957. Hence, PD today remains a popular seaside destination among locals and foreigners.

PD bloomed in the 80s

Port Dickson reached its peak in 1980s when hotels, resorts and apartments started their construction along the beaches. Thousands of visitors flocked in to PD during weekends. Even water sport operators were booming in 1980s.

New beach destinations grew

Sadly, PD failed to maintain its popularity with the emergence of other charming beaches in East Coast such as Cherating and Tioman. Besides that, vacationers also realized that beaches in PD were getting more polluted. But thanks to government’s effort to clean-up the beaches in conjunction with Visit Malaysia and other related initiatives, Port Dickson has once again gained popularity from the holidaymakers.

Hotels, resorts and apartments in the vicinity worked closely with the authorities to keep the beach clean. Today, Port Dickson once again offers scenic ocean view of pristine clear water and white sandy beaches.

Some said PD is more beautiful today than years before. Thus, you’ll notice that beach-lovers and families often come back again during the weekend to enjoy the waters and indulge in various activities here.
