However, the sea is very clear, and the beach is very clean, and it is close to the national park."Southwest Penang Island14.2 km from downtownBeaches
No.3 of Best Things to Do in Southwest Penang IslandHighlights: The monkey beach is not big, there are very few people, and there are also food sold on the beach. After all, the sea water is on the main island, so it is not so beautiful, but for tourists who have not been to Langkawi due to time constraints, it is also good to take a bath.Show Less - 5.94.6/5145 Review
based on 980 reviews"This is my 2nd time visiting Taman Negara Pulau Pinang aka Penang National Park.Fees: RM10 for locals and RM50 for foreignersHiking route to Monkey Beach still close, therefore we can only hike to Kerachut Beach. Before entering the hiking area, there are some stalls promoting speed boat to come back to entrance area from Kerachut beach. Me and my friend decided to take speed boat back, cost us RM100 for 2 of us. (If you choose to stop at Monkey Beach have to add RM20) It took us about 1-1.5hours to reach the beach area. The route is not so hard and we enjoyed it very much.Kerachut beach area is nice, we chill under the tree for a-bit until we go to take the speed boat at booked time.Overall, it’s pretty cool place to visit!"Southwest Penang Island11.6 km from downtownNational ParksNo.4 of Best Things to Do in Southwest Penang IslandHighlights: Penang National Park is located in the northwest of Penang Island. It used to be called Pantai Aceh Forest Reserve. After the 1970s, the government began to consider the proposals put forward by environmental protection organizations, and unified management of relevant forest reserves and construction of national parks. . There are many flowers, plants, insects and birds here, and it is a good place for picnic, camping, sports and leisure.
