By The Sea is a set of beachfront serviced apartments right on Batu Ferringhi beach, on Penang's northern coast. The draw is simple and good: a 50-metre infinity pool above the sand, direct access to the beach itself, and roomy two-bedroom apartments with balconies — a self-catering base for families and groups who want the beach on their doorstep rather than a hotel-room stay.

By The Sea is a beachfront serviced-apartment property on Jalan Batu Ferringhi (11100), on Penang's northern beach strip. Accommodation is in two-bedroom apartments that sleep up to six, each with a balcony — some facing the beach and pool, others the hillside behind. The headline facility is a 50-metre infinity pool with panoramic sea views, with a separate wading pool for children and direct access onto Batu Ferringhi beach. As serviced apartments, the appeal is space and self-catering for families and groups rather than full hotel service. The location puts the rest of the Batu Ferringhi strip within easy reach: the Tropical Spice Garden and Entopia butterfly farm are nearby, the evening Batu Ferringhi night market is a local fixture, and beach water-sports operate along the sand. George Town's heritage core is a 25 to 30 minute drive south, so this is a beach-first base, well away from the old-town bustle.
