Penang Beach - What Makes Batu Ferringhi the Most Popular Beach? (PENANG HOTEL | PENANG ACCOMMODATION | PENANG RESORT)

By Julian Khoo

A trip up to Batu Ferringhi will tell you why you have to go there for a holiday. The road up here is a windy one, but the results are spectacular. 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 have money to splurge, invest in a few nights 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 staff are well trained and polite, and the hotels provide excellent services, and some even provide daycare, childcare and baby-sitting services.

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 hawker center which we stopped at for dinner which had good hawker food. The centre is near the night market which you should check out. It's a shopping haven for many. I didn't buy many things as I was mainly sightseeing.

Batu Ferringhi is definitely a tourist area, everything they have there is convenient for tourists and it's easy to get around the area. Only problem is getting to and from Georgetown, not that there isn't any transport, its just a little bit further out and the coming in and out of Batu Ferringhi.

There are also Tanjung Bungah and Gurney Drive to consider. But in my opinion Batu Ferringhi is the most popular Penang beach.
