Batu Ferringhi

Penang's premier beach resort strip

Penang's most popular beach destination stretches along the northern coast with a string of international resort hotels, a lively night market, and water sports activities. While the beach itself is modest compared to the Thai islands, Batu Ferringhi offers a relaxed holiday atmosphere with beachfront dining, parasailing, jet-skiing, and a famous pasar malam (night market) that comes alive after sunset with stalls selling souvenirs, clothes, and local snacks.
