Penang Beaches

Do you enjoy a great beach resort? Penang will
delight you. The most eye-catching Penang beach resorts
that you should seek out include Batu Ferringhi beach, Teluk Bahang
beach and Tanjung Bungah. These three Penang beaches are
different and diverse but all are popular tourist attractions in
Penang.
Batu Ferringhi beach is ranked first by many tourists, since
most of the Penang beach resorts, are located in close proximity to
the Batu Ferringhi beach. The beach is only 12.5 miles (20km) from
Georgetown and offers many water sports and other relaxing
activities to the visitors.
Water sports
Some of the most popular water sports are jet skiing, banana
boat riding, parasailing, sky parachute and sailing. In addition to
these, horse-back riding is also a favourite among the kids,
enjoying the cool breeze in the Batu Ferringhi
beach.
The Teluk Bahang beach which borders a fishing village, is
also strikingly different and small in size. If you tire busy,
crowded Batu Ferringhi, this is an ideal option for a relaxing
family picnic or to go jungle trekking while
camping.
Tanjung Bungah which lies between the Gurney Drive and Batu
Ferringhi will provide a photographer some of the best shots to add
to his or her collection. The beach gives a distinctively colorful
picture during sunrise as well as the sunset, creating picture
perfect moments.
Variety of activities
Pantai Teluk Kampi being the longest stretch of beach in
Penang National Park also contributes to Penang as a tourist
attraction, with a splendid variety of activities possible at this
coast. Though swimming and camping are more common at the Pantai
Teluk Kampi, February to April provides an opportunity to view sea
turtle nests.
One of the premier accommodation choices for leisure and
business tourists is Copthorne Orchid Hotel Penang. Hotel
accommodation at Copthorne Orchid Hotel Penang offers
guests a comfortable and exceptionally pleasant stay that is
complemented by the courteous staff.
