KL to Port Dickson
Kuala Lumpur to Port Dickson
Port Dickson is the closest beach destination to KL — about 100 km south along the PLUS highway and Seremban-Port Dickson road. The drive takes around 1.5 hours, making it one of the easiest day trips from the city.
PD, as locals call it, has a long stretch of beaches, family-friendly resorts, and the Army Museum. It is popular for weekend getaways, company retreats, and families looking for sand and sea without the long drive.
