This beach definitely has potential, boasting beautiful scenery that makes it a pleasant spot to visit. However, its current state holds it back from being truly great. With some attention to organization and cleanliness, this could be a fantastic destination. The lack of proper upkeep is noticeable and detracts from the natural beauty. Furthermore, if they take care of facilities, particularly bathrooms, it is a significant drawback. Improving these aspects would vastly enhance the visitor experience and allow the beach to live up to its full potential.

Batu Ferringhi Beach is an okay spot for a beach day in Penang. There are plenty of restaurants and bars lined up along the shore, and many places host fire shows at night, which makes the evenings lively. The backdrop of trees and mountains adds to the scenery and gives the beach a nice vibe. That said, the water isn’t very clear and the sand isn’t soft or white like you might expect from tropical beaches elsewhere. Still, it’s one of the better beach escapes in Penang if you’re looking to get away from the city and enjoy a relaxed seaside atmosphere.

Batu Ferringhi Beach is a mix of postcard views and unexpected fashion choices. The sand is soft, the waves are gentle, and then you look up and realize half the people in the water are fully dressed like they just wandered in from the mall. Jet skis buzz by, parasails float overhead, and somehow it all works — chaotic but charming. A great spot for sunsets, people-watching, and wondering how those jeans will ever dry.

A Quiet Beach (Visited on September 10, 2025) One of beach can be found at Penang Island is Batu Ferringhi Beach. Batu Ferringhi Beach has clean and pristine white color sand and vibrant light blue color water. Looks so calm and peaceful on the same time. The traits of the beach doesn't correlate with the popularity. Batu Ferringhi Beach remain quiet. Very suitable for introvert. A bit out of topic yet useful information, Batu Ferringhi Beach can be accessed from Starbucks Batu Ferringhi branch. It had direct access to the beach, albeit needed to across the outlet at first.

Not the most exciting of beaches and it judt didnt look inviting to swim. Perhaps just the sandy sediment but it felt dirty. Maybe it was the wet weather and under better conditions it would be nicer. Just wasnt a fan here. Perhaps visit if you have nothing else to do.

Nice long stretch of beach Kiosks serving drinks Apart from kiosks, there are chairs along the beach which are available for rent for MYR 20 each chaise lounge / sun lounger for MYR 30

Batu Ferringhi Beach is a place we go each time we visit Penang, just to feel the breeze, listen to the sound of the wave, enjoy the beautiful coastal beach scenery with tall coconut trees and clear blue sky is quite relaxing!

A fair variety of clothing, art , toys and souvenirs. Unlike night markets in other cities this one is a series of stalls down the road which makes it a bit precarious to navigate during a crowded weekend evening. For those wanting to shop this is a good late night option. I didn't see too much that felt particularly unique but it's a good sampling of various goods for those with an appetite for that .

Was there recently September 2025 and was disappointed as it wasn’t like what it use to be, very few retail stalls with less variety, also less dining options. Visitors who choose to stay on that side of the island look for walks to the night market which is fun to do especially after dinner for some fun, bargain shopping. Hope the local authorities look to revive the night market and offer some form of assistance to attract the local arts, crafts; culture & coffee communities to help revive this once vibrant and fun night market area. The upside is a fairly newer area further up - the Ferringhi Bay which offers a nice stretch of beachfront open concept eateries on the beach which is reasonable in terms of pricing and offers a good variety of dining options.

The place had its charm, but it felt rather desolate—perhaps the quiet was amplified by the fact that we visited on a Wednesday night, a typical school night. There weren’t many attractions around, and while it’s located near the beach, we didn’t get to enjoy the seaside view since we arrived at 8pm, well past sunset. Would I recommend it? That really depends. If you're seeking solitude or a quiet spot to unwind, it might suit your vibe. But if you're after vibrant energy or things to explore, you might want to look elsewhere—or come at a different time.

A variety of products, from fake branded goods, souvenirs & food. Weekdays not so crowded but need to bargain for foreigners as they mark up prices. Bought a pair of loose pants for RM20. I didn’t bargain. Think could have got it for RM 12-15. Saw the exact one in the morning at Armenian street for RM35.

The place is good close to beach. There are so many shops and restaurants. Although its a busy tourists place but price is not too high. The foods quality and taste was good. In night it is more attractive and enjoyable. There so many residence hotel and bar. I anyone like to drink they can do it with the view of sea.

The night market and the adjacent beach are both amazing! We appreciate the ability to get good souvenirs right alongside the beach. It made our trip really efficient. I would add that the beach is not for small children. The current is drop and it gets deep quickly. This beach is more suited for parasailing or jet skis than snorkeling or sandcastle building. Plan accordingly!

If you are looking for some exotic souvenir or gifts this will be the perfect place. The food supermarket is too good with superb variety items. Compared to Kulalampur it's expensive but the goodies and food are unique.

We had a lovely tour around the tropical fruit farm this lunch time. My partner and I had Danny as our guide and he was wonderful and full of knowledge of the plants and trees around the farm. He offered us lots of interesting insights and information as well as a few laughs along the way. We loved the enzyme and honey tasting and opted for the package which included a fruit juice and some fresh cut fruit. It was all perfect with a super view on offer. I would recommend hiring a Grab for 4 hours on the app to save trying to book one at the farm when leaving. This worked well for us and meant we could fully enjoy the Tropical Fruit Farm without the anxiety of Grab/signal issues. We look forward to our next visit which we will hopefully time to coincide with durian season ☺️

A very interesting and educational fruit tour with an experienced guide who explained everything in detail and let us try many unique tropical fruits, especially miracle fruit. The tour took about 1.5 hours ,it was really worth it. Many of the fruits were ones I had never heard of or seen before which felt really fresh and exciting.The tour also included free tastings of enzymes and honey. The beetroot enzyme and kopi honey were the most unique and the best tasting. Coconut oil products are great, but the aloe vera soap was a bit drying for my skin. Highly recommended — just remember to bring an umbrella if visiting in the afternoon!

A hidden gem with spectacular views and a huge verity of fruits including all kinds of bananas apart from cavandish so great. Nice food and great fruit juices. There bi's more to the site than just the cafeteria though so feel free to explore. The route there is also very scenic whether comming in or going toward Batu Ferengi. A must experience really.

We planned to come here to try Malaysian durian, but it wasn’t durian season. They still had some durian from another city though (but in another farm), so that was nice. We got a couple of drinks and just enjoyed the peaceful nature around the farm. Then we found out there’s a 1-hour farm tour, so we joined — and it turned out to be a really fun experience! My boyfriend really liked it too. After the tour, they gave us two drinks and two plates of fruit, all included in the price. It’s a bit far from Georgetown, but totally worth the trip. 🌿🍍🥭

They have so many fruit trees you can’t believe your eyes! Our tour guide Danny was very experienced and gave a lot of health tips on when to use which fruit (eg. To cool down your body). After the tour, we had enzyme tasting and fruit juice / platter! Definitely recommend! Only challenge is to get a Grab car over there, so perhaps better to arrange something upfront.

The Penang Tropical Fruit Farm was one of the highlights of my trip! 🌴🍍🍊 🍉 Variety of Fruits The farm is home to an incredible range of tropical fruits — from well-known favorites like mangoes, papayas, and pineapples to rare and exotic varieties you don’t often see elsewhere. It’s a real treat for anyone curious about tropical agriculture. 🚜 Guided Tour & Learning The guided tour was both fun and educational. The staff explained the history of the farm, cultivation methods, and even shared interesting facts about each fruit. It was a perfect mix of learning and exploring. 🥭 Tasting Experience The fruit-tasting session was the best part — fresh, sweet, and bursting with flavor. You really can’t get fruits any fresher than this. 🌿 Scenic & Relaxing The farm sits on a hillside with beautiful views of the surrounding greenery and the Andaman Sea. It’s peaceful, refreshing, and a great escape from the city. 🌟 Overall If you’re visiting Penang, the Tropical Fruit Farm is a must! It’s a unique, refreshing, and tasty experience for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature, food, and learning something new.

Nice durian farm. Fair price, good service. Good quality durian. Kind hearted owner. Thank you for the durian gift for my mom. 🙏😊

Nice place for kids to have fun, remember to wear socks,with long pants and long sleeves.

This is probably the best "theme park" I've ever been too. We went as a family and all had a great time. Zip lines, high ropes courses, trampolines and reasonable priced food. We felt the operation was quite safe and that is very important in a park of this nature.

Good place for a rest with kids up to 9-10 years old. Prices are not high, especially during weekdays. The adventures include both: waterpark and gamezone. For gamezone the kid needs to have socks, long pants and a T-shirt with long sleeves. These can also be bought at the location, quality is good, but prices are quite high.

RM 35 per entry for each kid under 12, parents enter FOC to watch at the waiting area. We visited the Adventure Zone when we were on our way home after visiting Entopia, weeks ago. My kids had a lot of fun even without the long sleeves. They were wearing short sleeves + long pants + socks. Suffered some blisters, minor bruises and scratches a little bit because they were rough boys but they had so much fun. It was all smiles and they were sweaty after 1-2 hours of fun. Slept so soundly that night.

Decent place for kids for 2 hours. Not alot of equipment and setup, more suitable for older kids from 7. Slides or what you call it is too steep. Could have been better given the price and far location

Amazing indoor playground. 26rm per kids for hotel guest and adults go in for FREE. Long pants and sleeves needed for the gigantic slides. Well maintained facilities and toilets. It is a bit crowded during weekend but more fun for kids.

Pretty fun place for kids. It's mainly 3 big slides. It caters mainly for hotel guest but walk in guest are allowed in for rm35 per child for 2 hours. Kids should wear long sleeve shirts and pants with socks. U could buy socks and the shirt here but no pants. Staff is friendly and helpful. My kid had a fall an cut her upper lip which started bleeding. They came in very fast with the first aid kit and helped us out. Would probably come back again

Visited the musuem over the weekend with my 7 yo boy. The teddyville showcase the evolution of teddy bear from the early years. And it has many life size teddy and also with a combination of diorama which highlight so much of the tiny details. Job well down! We had a great time there as it was not crowded and had the time to slowly enjoy the details of the display which showcase the Penang culture and heritage. The manager was friendly and took the time to explained to us how the museum came to live. It’s a must visit for teddy bears lover :) and not to mentioned for double tree Hilton guest we are entitled a 50% off the ticket price which is a steal for us!

I love teddy bear and I love Teddy Ville Museum. The guide and Manager are humble. They guide me well, tell the story from the first time Teddy bear made. they also tell me about Malaysian legends. InsyaAllah I'll coming back with my nephew 😁

Love this museum and it tells a story of Malaysians and shows our celebrations in Malaysia. The owner was friendly and even gave us a short tour of the museum by explaining where he got the bears and where the bears originally came from. What a kind man. The museum is big and we end up spending 1+ hours there exploring, reading about the histories and taking photos there. We bought postcards as our souvenirs and the owner even gave us stamping and stamps for free! Love it so much! This museum is located inside a hotel. So, you can just park up and go into the hotel. No parking fee is needed when you park inside the hotel. Just tell the security guard there where you’re going and they’ll direct you to a parking spot. Overall, I had a great experience here! They accept cash and QR as payment method!

a museum specially dedicated to teddy bears, yes! a museum filled with teddy bears. located about an hour drive from Georgetown, step inside & you’ll be fascinated by the evolution, the history, the facts & fascinating stories on each display. I was fortunate, thankful to the museum staff, Mr Ben (if i’m not mistaken) gives me a lot of information about the museum, every details on the display is well explained which makes an interesting read. there are also sections dedicated solely on the island itself, Penang, from the early days to modern history & transformation, everything is well documented & of course, with the bears as their main character. there is a gift shop located at the end of this tour & the souvenirs were also adorable, cute & nicely decorated. an interesting experience not to be missed, suitable for everyone & really worth a visit.

Not a playground but an actual museum. Some say it's small but if you actually read through stuff and are interested in the history of Teddy Bears and Malay culture, it's gonna take you at least 1 hour. Entrance is 39RM for adults but worth it.

I really enjoyed visiting TeddyVille Museum with my partner! It's a great place for both couples and families. The museum does an excellent job of telling Penang's history in a unique and adorable way, using teddy bears to bring the stories to life. A big plus is that if you're a hotel guest, you get a discount and unlimited entry for the day, which makes it even more worthwhile. Highly recommend! By Gemini Worth visiting by couples and family Show case the history of Penang with the cute teddy Hotel guest even with discount with unlimited entry per day By Bosco 😬

Easy bus ride up the road from holiday inn stop bus 101/102. Amazing history of teddys followed by Penang history illustrated by teddys. Fun to be had while learning history aswell as getting some good pics. At the end a good lil gift shop. Highly recommend going.

A place that selling antique statu, painting and hand craft. Two friendly old women explain to us on how to made the handcraft. Paintings upsstair were not allowed to take photo, level 1 item is allowed for photo. You can find batik chop here. Free entrance and parking available.

if you love art, you can come here, recommend it a lot, the uncle and aunty will show you the work, and explain it >.<

This is a private and high quality artwork gallery. We luckily have a deep talk with Owner - Artist S. Teng, a very adorable person. Highly recommend for love art friends once visiting Penang.

An interesting and quirky place with some amazing pieces. We were the only customers and the lady was vey attentive.

This is one of the oldest family run art gallery in Penang showcasing the original artworks by Chuah Thean Teng and sons. Chuah Thean Teng was the pioneer of batik painting in fine art form and his sons have continued his legacy by taking this artform and developing it in their own styles. Their paintings are collected internationally by private collectors and museums. This gallery is worth visiting if you are an art lover and would like to learn more about the history of Malaysian art and batik painting in particular. The rest of the store sells trinkets but it is the art gallery at the back which is the highlight. Take the opportunity to talk to the artist Chuah Thean Teng (son) to learn more about the works.

My childhood playground and fond memories here! The artist drew a 鸳鸯on a comb for me and a jewellery wooden box which I kept it till today

Looks like a talented artist not recognized in Msia as he should have been ! Many beautiful art and pieces of art . I have not been there yet.

Went there yesterday. Not much signboard for direction. If u drive u need to pass through small off road lane which is just beside car wash shop. Once arrive, need to pay $5 for parking fees. Its about 5 minutes walk to the waterfall. The waterfall is not that fantastic but the water is bit cool. A video on our way out of the waterfall.

I can't find it. The place looks abandoned and dangerous, not sure where exactly do we start hiking, doesn't see any entrance or sign board. Decided to bail.

No longer a hidden place, small & good for small crowd. Go very early in the morning to get a good picnic spot.

If only this God's gift of nature was properly kept with a safe walking trail, people's lives will be healthier. Now only the monkeys and langurs have all the fun, the occasional wild dog, lots of mossies will challenge you as you walk on loose rocks and construction debris.. On a pre-Christmas hike up to the reservoir, we found streams of water leaking from the PBA valve running down the slope, creating a muddy trail and wasting precious resource.

‼️To be honest from the pictures you see here it looks like it is a very beautiful place , but nah , hell nah bro , it’s doesn’t worth it believe me , Although You need to be patient and clever to find this place , and you must be careful while ⚠️ swimming there ⚠️⚠️❌, basically just take some photos there and go anywhere else , 🚫 Hope you arrive there and come back SAFE if you are willing to go there ✋.

A beautiful and breathtaking view of waterfall where we can take a lot of pictures near the waterfalls. here we can enjoyed the scenic view during swimming near the pools of waterfall. love the view!

Penang Island also have the best place on healing, one of it is here. Fresh water flowing from the top seen as a nature beauty for us to have a such refreshing moment ☺️...try to come here with friends and family, there will best memories would be created.
