November 28th, 2009 by James Trippy Leave a reply »

A trip up to Batu Ferringhi will tell you why you have to go there for a holiday. The journey up here is a breezy trip, but the outcome are dazzling. A line of expensive hotels front the sea and across the road is a horizon of bars, restaurants and souvenir shops waiting to be visited.

Given you have money to lavish, spend in a few days at the Rasa Sayang, Park Royal, Holiday Inn, Bayview Beach Resort, or the Golden Sands. They not only face the sea, they are located directly on the beach and have the best quality available here. The employees are devoted and friendly, and some even arrange daycare, childcare and baby-sitting services.

For those who are on a low cost, resort opposite the road are available for a relaxing break too, and you can stroll over to the shore for beach games. Try not to get a hotel which is too far away from the beach, so its best to stick to those that line the roadsides as it’s easy to cross the roads here.

Dining options are abundant as you can indulge in delicious seafood at the restaurants across the road. There is a food center which we stopped at which had satisfying hawker menu. The centre is near the night market which you should check out. Its a shopping favourite for many. I didn’t buy many things as I was mainly sightseeing.

Batu Ferringhi is definitely a tourist area, everything they have there is convenient for tourists and it’s easy to get around the area. Only problem is getting to and from Georgetown, not that there isn’t any transport, its just a little bit further out and the coming in and out of Batu Ferringhi.

There are also Tanjung Bungah and Gurney Drive to consider. But majority of tourist will say Batu Ferringhi is the most popular Penang beach.
