Covering the northwestern tip of Penang Island at Teluk Bahang, Penang National Park is Malaysia's smallest national park yet rich in biodiversity. Coastal rainforest trails lead hikers to secluded sands like Monkey Beach (Teluk Duyung) and pristine Pantai Kerachut, famous for its green turtle sanctuary and rare seasonal meromictic lake. Scenic climbs lead up to the historic 1883 Muka Head lighthouse overlooking the sea.
