Batu Ferringhi
Travelling west along the coastal road, away from Tanjung Bungah, is Batu Ferringhi. A low lying area with a sweeping strand and casuarinas, it is the most famous of Penang's beaches. Several hotels of international standard may be found along its shoreline. Here, guests have many sporting activities to choose from, such as parasailing, jet skiing, wind surfing and water skiing. Dining is a delight with nearby restaurants offering a variety of seafood, local, Continental and Asian dishes. The roadside is also lined with numerous stalls selling handicrafts and souvenirs.

Off shore from Batu Ferringhi are the deserted islands of Pulau Bidan, Pulau Telur and Pulau Song Song. The crystal clear waters around these coral islands are ideal for swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving and fishing. Most of the beach hotels offer sea cruises to these islands.
