I had not been to Penang for years but each visit turns out to be a very memorable one. This time I visited Penang with 3 other friends. We took part in the ATMAH motor treasure hunt from KL to Penang. More than 80 cars took part in this hunt and it was just a wonderful experience to see the country side and also visit different towns to look for clues. We adjourned our journey and spent the night in Hydro-Majestic Resort, Batu Feringghi, a newly renovated hotel with a sea front.
I enjoy the west coast beaches, the waters are shallow and ripened with corals and sea creatures. Most of all I love the white sandy beaches, where I can just walk for hours under the shadowed trees and sunny sky whilst inhaling that fresh sea breeze and suitably entertained by the crackling sounds of the waves. Batu Feringghi is everything I had just described. The beach stretches for miles and is bordered by shaded coconut trees, casuarinas and more. You may even catch a glimpse of wildlife such as the short tailed macaque in between the branches. The sandy beaches are sometimes interrupted by big boulders which you may have to climb over. Bring your fishing gear if you like the sport. I have seen many people sitting on these rocks and fishing for their lunch returning with buckets of fresh fish.
