Malaysia Most Beautiful Beaches

Pasir Teluk Bahang Beautiful Beaches

Teluk Bahang Beach is located to the west of Batu Ferringhi. This beach has more greeneries and has a more private and tranquil environment. Besides the attraction of the beautiful beach, visitors can also visit the Forest Recreation Park and Museum to enjoy the flora and fauna of the island. The other attraction is Penang's own butterfly farm known as Teluk Bahang Butterfly Farm where you will be able to see more than 3,000 butterflies in their natural habitat. There is also the Tropical Spice Garden where you will be able to see a collection of more than 500 varieties of flora from around the world.

If you are eager for more adventure, head towards Teluk Bahang Fishing Village where you will be able to see the village life of the people here. Enjoy a meal at the Chinese seafood restaurant here.

Teluk Bahang in Penang is a serene fishing village at the tail-end of the coastal road on the northern side of Penang Island. The name Teluk Bahang means the "Bay of Heat Wave". It probably points to the high temperature of the sea breeze coming in to the shore. Until the Penang Mutiara Beach Resort opened, the only purpose of going to Teluk Bahang in Penang was to enjoy the seafood at the End of the World Restaurant. Beautiful sunsets grace the beach of Teluk Bahang--Bay of Embers--where the rustic kampung (village) charms is exemplified by an intact fishing village rumbling with life. Chickens, dogs, cats and children frolic around and under the stilted attap houses and a jetty stretches some distance into the sea to welcome home the fishermen and their day's catch. A rare quixotic scene comes alive at the twinkle of an eye, otherwise found only in the best canvasses of Penang's thriving arts trade. At the distal end this idyllic beach, the paradisiacal Mutiara Beach Resort takes physical domicile.

Teluk Bahang in Penang is the home of the Penang Butterfly Farm and the Teluk Bahang Recreational Forest. It has a couple of batik factories and small scale orchid farms targeting the tourist market. The Teluk Bahang Dam, completed in the year 1999, offers splendid views all the way to the sea. There are many jungle treks in the hills to the northwest of Teluk Bahang in Penang.

Top Beaches

Batu Ferringhi

Batu Ferringhi, a thirty-minute bus ride west of Georgetown on Transitlink #202 or Transitlink air-con #93 (but not the standard #93), has a decent beach and several guesthouses, albeit filthy sea.

Teluk Bahang

The beaches around this rocky headland are better than the ones at Teluk Bahang itself, but since the big hotels run boat trips out here, it's unlikely that you'll have them to yourself.

Air Batang

A fifteen-minute trail leads over the headland to the north, which - after an initial scramble - flattens out into an easy walk, ending up at secluded Penuba Bay. From here, it's an hour's walk to Monkey beach, beyond which is Salang.

Juara

Juara is refreshingly free from the buzz of speedboats and motorbikes, while its lovely wide sweep of beach is far cleaner and less crowded than anywhere on the other side. The bay, however, facing out to the open sea, is the most susceptible on the island to bad weather.

Mukut Beach

Mukut , a tiny fishing village on the south coast, lies in the shadow of granite outcrops. Shrouded by dense forest, and connected to the outside world by a solitary card phone, it's a wonderfully peaceful and friendly spot to unwind, though be warned that this is still a conservative place, unused to Western sunbathing habits.

Salang Beach

Salang is a quieter option with a better beach, but there has been a lot of development recently and the string of hostels stretches pretty much the whole length of the seafront; prices tend to be a little higher than at Air Batang.

Pasir Bogak

Only a few of the chalets front the beach itself; most line the road that continues north along the west coast, but they're all reasonably close to the sea.

Teluk Ketapang And Teluk Nipah

The best beach at Teluk Nipah is Coral Bay - a perfect cove with crystal-clear sea and smooth white sand. The bay is inaccessible by road and to reach it you have to climb over the rocks at the northern end of Teluk Nipah (watch the tide).

Nipah Beach

Comprising a clean, empty beach of coarse, yellow sand and a landlocked lagoon, there's no village to speak of here, but there is a Dive Centre and canoeing.

Pantai Cenang Beach

The bay forms a large sweep of wide, white beach with crisp, sugary sand, but again the water here won't win any prizes for cleanliness.

Tekek Beach

The sprawling village of Tekek is the main settlement on the island and the least inspiring part of Tioman.

Perhentian Besar Beach

A stunning conglomeration of three beaches, separated from the main area of accommodation by rocky outcrops and reached only by speedboat, it provides a secluded haven between May and September for green and hawksbill turtles to come ashore and lay their eggs.

Perhentian Kecil Beach

East-facing Long Beach has been the target of most development on Kecil, not surprisingly, since it boasts a wide stretch of white beach and good coral nearby.

Pantai Kok And Telaga Tujuh

Pantai Kok lies on the far western stretch of Langkawi and is the best beach on the island, a large sweep of powdery white sand with relatively clear and shallow water - quieter and more secluded than Cenang and more intimate in feel.
