Nothing to see at all .... but you can visit there for the 1st time. but still its a great place for the tourist. There is few details of this beautiful place. This small town used to produce charcoal and therefore was called Arang (Malay: "charcoal") - there used to be a carbon mine at the first mile of the coast road (hence named Jalan Pantai) - but it was later developed as a small port by the British during the Straits Settlement period. Port Dickson was also known as Tanjung (Malay: "cape"). The oldest shophouses were the four situated presently at Jalan Lama. Historically what is today Port Dickson and nearby Lukut were part of Selangor. On 30 July 1880, a meeting was held in Singapore between Sultan Abdul Samad (then Sultan of Selangor), Raja Bot (the ruler of Lukut district), Dato' Kelana of Sungai Ujong as well as the British, in which Selangor cedes the district of Lukut to Sungai Ujong (which later became Negeri Sembilan). Tin ore was plentiful in Lukut, an area within the Port Dickson district, during the 1820s, and it attracted Chinese immigrant miners. The British considered the area to have great potential as a harbour. It was intended to supersede the port in Pengkalan Kempas. The in-charge officer's name was Dickson, and thereafter the town was named Port Dickson. Others claim that Sir John Frederick Dickson, colonial secretary,[4] a senior official of the Federated Malay States founded Port Dickson and Pulau Arang in 1889. Port Dickson evolved into a busy trading center. Railways were constructed to facilitate the growth and development of Port Dickson. Although Port Dickson experienced rapid development, the beautiful beaches are fairly well preserved. Port Dickson is also home to many army camps of the Malaysian Army such as Sebatang Karah, Segenting, Si Rusa and Sunggala. In September 2009, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak declared Port Dickson as an "Army Town" in recognition of her role in the nation's military services. The 18 km long beach from Tanjung Gemuk to Tanjung Tuan is a popular holiday destination for local visitors, especially those who come from Kuala Lumpur. Many Singaporeans have invested in holiday homes in and around Port Dickson. Over the years, many hotels and resorts were opened to capitalize on the tourist draw. In the 1990s, Port Dickson boomed with new hotels and resorts being planned and constructed. Due to the Asian financial crisis of 1997 however, many of these projects stalled, leaving many unfinished buildings scattered along the Port Dickson coastline. While some of these half constructed resorts are still abandoned, with the improving economy of the 2000s many of the projects were eventually revived and completed.

Not bad have improved a lot since the last time I visited (many years ago), the sand seem clean a lot and water is clear to see too. But there are still some rubbishes around, hope all visitors can be a responsible human to clear all the stuff before they leave. One thing is very frustrating is all the toilets are closed due to bulan ramadan, I fully understand all food stalls closed during the fasting month and respect that but toilets should opened all the time.

Nearest beach to the KL city, around 1 hr drive (with jam during weekends could be 2 hours). White/grey super soft sand, with warm water and safe beach. Recently cleaned. Usually lots of people during holidays, nearby shops for everything, water stuff or clothes or food and drinks (although not super hygienic). Easy close parking. Lots of water sports, like banana boat, speed boat, jet ski, all very reasonable priced. Good for a day trip.
