About this experience

Artisan Markets in Teluk Nipah is a rotating open-air bazaar along the main beach road on Pangkor Island. It operates on select evenings, typically from 6pm to 10pm, and features local crafts, batik textiles, and handmade souvenirs. The market attracts both tourists and residents seeking authentic island-made goods.

What to expect

Stalls display hand-painted batik sarongs, woven pandan baskets, and carved wooden keychains, all made by Pangkor artisans.
Visitors can watch live demonstrations of coconut-shell carving and traditional keris sheath making during market hours.
The market runs for about four hours, with 20 to 30 vendor booths set up under string lights along the beachfront walkway.
Cash is the primary payment method, and most items range from RM5 to RM50, with no entry fee.
The market suits souvenir hunters and cultural shoppers, but not those seeking food stalls, as only two drink vendors are present.
