Penang National Park

Penang Island is well-known for the heritage ambience of George Town but the majority of the island is actually covered in lush tropical rainforest and there’s no better place to experience it than Penang National Park.

Quietly situated in the northwest corner of the island, but easily accessible from Batu Ferringhi or George Town, it makes for an ideal day trip to explore the rainforest, spend a few hours relaxing on a tropical beach, or venture out onto the hiking trails. Even if you’re only visiting Penang for a couple of days, we recommend you make time to visit Penang National Park as it really is one of the best things to do in Penang and here you will find some of the best beaches in Penang.
