Batu Ferringhi is the northern coast of Penang, Malaysia.
Probably the single most heavily developed stretch of tourist resorts in
the entire country, the scenery and the beaches have undeniably suffered
under the assault of all that concrete. Still, while the beaches aren't
the best in Malaysia, there are still miles of white sand and palm trees
left. Fierce competition keeps hotel prices low and there's some great
food to be found too. Also a notable fact making the decision to visit
Batu Ferringhi an easier one is, that the more you approach to the west,
the less the touristisation has infected the beaches. Beaches near the
famous night-market are very nice, though with less than perfect water
quality because of the extensive powered water sports and infestations
