Tanjung Bungah

This is another highly developed area of Penang, and yet it shelters decent stretches of beach. One of the most interesting is the beach behind the Thai Pak Koong temple in nearby Tanjung Tokong, a place that’s now popular for the quirky Penang Avatar Secret Garden. Definitely not great for swimming, Tanjung Bunga has however good vantage points to watch the sunset against the skyline of one of Penang’s most heavily built expatriate enclaves. It is a long stretch of beach which is very popular for exercise among locals. A great place to walk or jog. A quiet and peaceful area. Nice for a picnic and to enjoy the beach away from the hotel crowd. If you want to swim, be careful of jelly fish. #urbanexplorer #happylaborday #beachvacation
