The most eye-catching beaches that a visitor to Penang would find are the ones at Batu Ferringhi beach, Teluk Bahang beach and Tanjung Bungah. The three are different and diverse in some ways but undoubtedly all three of them 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 20 kilometers from Georgetown and offers many water sports and other relaxing activities to the visitors.

Some of the highly admired water sports are jet skiing, banana boat riding, parasailing, sky parachute and sailing. In addition to these, horse-back riding is also a top favorite 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. For the visitors who are tired 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 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.

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 more common at the Pantai Teluk Kampi, February to April provides an opportunity to view the sea turtle nest.

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 friendly and courteous staff.
