Being the most popular beach location in Penang, the Batu Ferringhi beaches draw a massive crowd, especially during the holiday season. Asides from having the most luxurious resorts in Penang, it serves as a total holiday provider as any tourist will find much to do here.
A bevy of fine hotels line the seafront, all of which offer the utmost quality of service. The Rasa Sayang is the most expensive resort at Batu Ferringhi, whilst the Holiday Inn, Park Royal, and Bayview Beach Resort cost slightly less. The Golden Sands is a more affordable accommodation but is still considered in the upper tier of hotel pricing. While the Rasa Sayang is more for the luxury traveler looking for peace, quiet and comfort, the rest of the hotels are regular beach resorts with more families and friends booking in for a holiday. All the resorts provide excellent beach activities and facilities.
There are cheap and affordable hotels available at Batu Ferringhi which aren't on the beach front. Their location is still convenient as they are located just across the road from the beaches. Prices there are more apt for those who are on a budget. Beach activities and facilities can still be enjoyed as visitors from anywhere are allowed to pay for the sea activities.
Food is not a problem as across the road from the hotels are a line of restaurants and bars, some of which provide live performances. After dinner there is a multitude of stalls set up for the night market. A walk up the road will introduce you to a roadside cluster of make-do shops that sell all sorts of things, from clothing to bags, to cigarette cases and lighters and children's toys. There is also a hawker centre nearby the night market where tourists can stop for dinner, refreshments or even supper.
If you want to enjoy the beach in Penang, you can be sure this is the place.
