Gertak Sanggul Beach

One of Penang’s southernmost beaches is very less known and a very nice place to hang out with friendly local fishermen. The beauty of being here is not much the bay — a more than decent crescent filled with swaying wooden boats — but the village and the local Chinese and Malay communities. There are many seafood restaurants here, where you can enjoy scrumptious seafood while tucking toes in the sand. Don’t forget to try the local mee udang, noodles with fresh tiger prawns cooked in Malay style, a real local delicacy. The people of Penang knows Gertak Sanggul as the place where the Yellow Bus turns around. It being the final stop at the southwestern tip of Penang Island, the commuter buses reach their final stop before heading back to town. #urbanexplorer #happylaborday #beachvacation
