Best Cafes in Balik Pulau

Durian orchards and Penang's rural heartland

About Balik Pulau

Balik Pulau ("the back of the island") is the rural, agricultural side of Penang, famous for its durian orchards, nutmeg plantations, and fishing villages. During durian season (June-August), locals make pilgrimages here for freshly harvested Musang King and other prized varieties sold at roadside stalls. The area also features paddy fields, fruit farms offering tours, and the charming Balik Pulau town with its authentic laksa and Malay kuih. It offers a completely different Penang experience far from the tourist trail.
