Our favourite beach in Penang. Beautiful, secluded, usually nobody else here. You can hire a boat to take you here for RM180 or walk through Jungle path (almost 3 h walk). This is really a place to get away from city bustle. No services, bring your own drinks and some snack - and remember to bring back all the waste. Don't let anything behind.
There is no mobile phone coverage, so remember to agree with boat captain the pickup time in advance.
As with any beach in Penang, be aware of jelly fish. They are seasonal thing here coming every now and then along with sea streams.
