Port Dickson, town, south-central Peninsular (West) Malaysia, on the Strait of Malacca. The port, now in decline, was used extensively during the late 19th century to export the tin mined in the foothills of the state. Now chiefly a seaside resort with a fishing village, it is connected by rail with the inland entrepôt of Seremban, 17 miles (27 km) northeast. Oil refineries are concentrated along the sandy coastline; tankers anchor offshore. Cape Tuan (formerly Cape Rachado) to the south has a lighthouse, and the old fort of Lukut is a few miles inland. Pop. (2000) 69,175.
