The influx of tourists to the island has encouraged the Penang authorities to develop the entertainment industry. The beaches offer a wide variety of water activities. These include traditional jet skiing, water skiing, parasailing and wakeboarding.
Vacationers can choose from beach volleyball or flying saucers, horseback riding lessons or beach buggy rides. The coastal waters are murky and full of jellyfish, so snorkeling and diving, traditional for exotic resorts, are not popular on the coast.
However, there are options for day trips to the islands off the coast of Penang - Pulau Bidana, Pulau Songa, Pulau Telura, where snorkeling and diving enthusiasts can experience the beauty of the underwater world of the Andaman Sea. It should be noted that the waters off Penang are not suitable for surfing as they are too calm.
For vacationers with children, we recommend paying attention to the Adventure Zone park on Batu Ferringi Beach. A huge number of slides in this park are divided into 3 categories according to the level of difficulty. But, the slides here are not water slides, so you need to wear clothes to go down. When going to this park, take care of comfortable clothes to avoid injuries during the slides.
