There are plenty of outdoor activities for the adventurer in Penang.
Today I spent the afternoon hiking to Pantai Kerachut and a boat trip to Monkey beach for a relaxing drink by the beach before heading home.
Taman Negara Pulau Pinang is possibly the world’s smallest national park. It’s not a difficult hike and the trails are easy to follow and well marked. I highly recommend taking a boat trip back to the entrance at Teluk Bahang jetty.
It makes the overall experience better, I promise.

OK, good. I certainly did enjoy the hike a lot, even if the lake was dried up when I went. Visiting the little turtle center by the beach was nice too.

Yes it is the same! Hope you enjoyed the hike as much as I did π

I also hiked to this place (Meromictic Lake and the beach) when I went to Penang earlier this year. It was a very nice hike. I guess Pantai Kerachut is also called Turtle Beach?

Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I always find those outings to cleanse the mind. π
