PANTAI KERACHUT, PENANG 5~6 Apl 2011
Recently I was in the opportunity to visit the Penang National Park in Teluk Bahang. Teluk Bahang is a small fishing village in the north western tip of the island Penang. The name Teluk Bahang means the "Bay of Heat Wave". It is actually only a few kilometers from the much more famous Batu Ferringhi.
Taman Negara Pulau Penang in the north-west of the island, being the only national park in Penang, is also the smallest national park in Malaysia. Pantai Kerachut is one of the beaches with a turtle hatchery.
There is a Registration Office when you get in, that takes visitors names, and also gives advice on the park.
There is more than one way to reach Pantai Kerachut. This trail is the shortest route. The entry point is near the fishing boats.
Follow the track along the coast until you cross a suspension bridge. There is a signboard showing the trails to the different beaches. Take the path on the left which leads away from the coast.
Thanks Mohd kadiri B. Ishak
