Penang Island's main beach strip, a long curve of sand on the north coast backed by resorts, casuarina trees and forested hills. Days revolve around swimming, parasailing and jet-ski rides, while the evening night market spreads batik, souvenirs and street food along the main road. It sits about a 30-minute drive from George Town, making it an easy pairing of beach and heritage city.
