pulau pinang beach

Penang's northern shoreline is famous for its beautiful beaches of golden sand and deep blue seas. 

The Tanjung Bungah, Batu Ferringhi and Teluk Bahang beaches offer expansive stretches of glittering 

sand interspersed with secluded coves within the shelter of gigantic rocks. It is along this famous 

coastline that resorts of international standard have sprouted up, offering a host of water-based 

recreational facilities.


If you crave for privacy, head for Teluk Duyung, Monkey Beach, Pantai Keracut and Pantai Mas 

accessible via the trails in the Pantai Acheh Forest Reserve from Teluk Bahang. The Pasir Panjang 

Beach at the southwestern tip of the island is a good clean stretch for swimming and can be reached 

after a 25-minute hike over hilly land from Betong.
