Penang Beach – Find out what makes Batu Ferringhi the most popular beach

A tour up to Batu Ferringhi will tell you why you have to visit there for a vacation. The track uphill here is a windy trip, but the results are wondrous. A line of expensive hotels front the sea and across the road is a horizon of bars, restaurants and souvenir shops waiting to be visited.

If you possess money to spend , plunge in a few days at the Rasa Sayang, Park Royal, Holiday Inn, Bayview Beach Resort, or the Golden Sands. They not only face the sea, they are located directly on the beach and have the best quality available here. The employees are attentive and polite, and some even arrange daycare, childcare and baby-sitting assistance.

For those who are on a tight budget, hotels across the road are available for a comfy stay too, and you can walk across to the beaches for beach fun activities. Try not to get a hotel which is too far away from the beach, so its best to stick to those that line the roadsides as it’s easy to cross the roads here.

Dining options are abundant as you can indulge in delicious seafood at the restaurants across the road. There is a food center which we stopped at which had wonderful hawker menu. The centre is near the night market which you should check out. Its a shopping favourite for many. I didn’t buy many things as I was mainly sightseeing.

Batu Ferringhi is without doubt a tourist spot, many things they possess there is available for tourist and it’s manageable to get nearby the area. Only obstacle is getting to and from Georgetown, not that there isn’t any transport , its just a minute distant and the moving in and out if Batu Ferringhi.

There are Tanjung Bungah and Gurney Drive to consider. But majority of tourist will say Batu Ferringhi is the most popular Penang beach.
