The second most visited place in Penang Island after George Town is Batu Ferringhi Beach. Located in the north-west of the island, Batu Ferringhi is home to a string of international class beachfront hotels, a long strip of white sandy beach, loads of water sports, a popular night market and is a great place to escape the heat of the city and relax by the pool enjoying the cool sea breezes. The 3-kilometre long beach is quite pleasant, but the waters around here are not the cleanest for swimming in and suffer from sporadic jellyfish infestation, so you will find most people relaxing by the pool at the more upmarket hotels rather than on the beach. The beach in Batu Ferringhi is known for its water sports and beach activities. There are many places renting out Jet skies or to take you Parasailing for a birds-eye view of the beach or take a thrilling Banana Boat ride.

This is a nice spot to picnic or walk on the beach. It is connected to a stretch of beaches right along the hotels. The island used to be nicknamed "Lover's island". Before the fisherman boats were here, it was a perfect picnic spot. The boats added to the prop for a scenic shot now. Pleasantly clean and peaceful beach. There are little clams naturally scattered between the tides. We like the soft sand and options to do water sports, along with the horse riding in the area too. Overall it’s one of the better beaches to be at, truly a hidden gem

Teluk Bahang, (Traditional/Simplified Chinese: 直落巴巷; Pinyin: Zhíluò Baxiàng) is a a 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", probably pointing to the high temperature of the sea breeze coming in to shore. Teluk Bahang is the gateway to the Penang National Park. Until the Penang Mutiara Beach Resort opened, the only purpose of going to Teluk Bahang was to enjoy the seafood at the End of the World Restaurant. The restaurant was utterly destroyed in the tsunami of 26 December, but has since relocated to a new spot. Other than that, scouts would remember the Jamboree Camp at Teluk Bahang. Teluk Bahang is the home of the Penang Butterfly Farm and the Teluk Bahang Recreational Forest. It has a couple of batik factories targetting the tourist market. Further inland is the Tropical Fruit Farm. Completed in 1999, the Teluk Bahang Dam offers splendid views all the way to the sea. With a storage capacity of 19.24 billion litres, it is the biggest dam on Penang Island, and doubles as a regular venue for water sports. It also holds the distinction of being the only dam in Malaysia built within a few kilometres from the sea.

The Kapitan Keling Mosque (Malay: Masjid Kapitan Keling, Tamil: காப்பித்தான் கெலிங மசூதி, romanized: Kāppittāṉ Keliṅa Macūti) is a mosque built in the 19th century by Indian Muslim traders in George Town, Penang, Malaysia. It is situated on the corner of Buckingham Street (Lebuh Buckingham) and Pitt Street (Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling). Being a prominent Islamic historic centre, it is part of the World Heritage Site of George Town and lies at the centre of the city's Tamil Muslim neighbourhood, the chulias.
