Batu Feringghi Beach and watersports in Penang Island Malaysia

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.
