The most eye-catching beaches that a visitor to Penang would find are the Batu Ferringhi beach, Teluk Bahang beach and Tanjung Bungah. The three are different and diverse in many ways but undoubtedly all three of them are popular tourist attractions.  

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 20 kilometers from Georgetown and offers many water sports and other relaxing activities to the visitors.  

Some of the popular water sports activities are Jet Ski, banana boating, parasailing, sky parachute and sailing.  In addition to these, horse-back riding is also a top favorite among the kids, enjoying the cool breeze at the Batu Ferringhi beach. 

The Teluk Bahang beach which is a fishing village, is also striking with its uniqueness and small size. For the visitors who are fed up of the busy, crowded Batu Ferringhi beach, this is an ideal place to relax on a picnic with the family members or to engage in jungle trekking while camping leisurely.

Tanjung Bungah which lies between the Gurney Drive and Batu Ferringhi will provide a photographer with some of the best shots to add to his collection. The beach gives a distinctively colorful picture during sunrise and sunset, making it even more captivating for viewers. 

Pantai Teluk Kampi being the longest stretch of beach in Penang National Park also contributes to Penang as a tourist attraction.  Life is very much relaxing and enjoyable with the splendid variety of activities made possible at this coastline. Though swimming and camping are most common at the Pantai Teluk Kampi, February to April provides a versatile experience to visitors by observing the sea turtle nest.     

One of the premier accommodation choices for guests is Copthorne Orchid Hotel Penang. Hotel accommodation at Copthorne Orchid offers guests a comfortable and exceptionally pleasant stay that is complemented by the friendly and courteous staff.
