Plenty of beach spots in Penang. There's the forever famous Batu Ferringhi beach. Furhter up north, there's Monkey Beach and Pantai Kerachut which probably has less tourists but splendid view. Or if you are looking for something nearer to the town, you can always visit the Tanjung Bungah beach. If you are an island lover, you can visit Pulau Jerejak as well.

#5  Theme park is back

As the government has allowed all the theme parks to start, why not have an adventurous trip to Escape Theme Park in Penang?
