Penang National Park

This pristine environment, formerly known as the Pantai Acheh Forest Reserve, is home to 417 flora and 143 animal species. Pantai Acheh Forest Reserve, located on Penang Island's northern point, was designated as the Penang National Park in April 2003. Penang National Park was the first officially gazetted protected area under Malaysia's National Park Act of 1980, demonstrating the State and Federal governments' environmental conservation efforts. Penang National Park was created to conserve and safeguard flora and animals, as well as geological, archaeological, historical, ethnological, scientific, and aesthetic artifacts.

Penang National Park is Malaysia's smallest and newest national park, where tourists may marvel at the rainforest's spectacular trees and fauna. The hiking routes in Penang National Park link to beaches like Monkey Beach, Teluk Kampi Beach, and Kerachut Beach, allowing you to unwind and enjoy magnificent views after a long trek. The right track will take you to Teluk Aling, Monkey Beach, and the Muka Head Lighthouse Trail. Take the left trail to Pantai Kerachut and the Meromictic Lake Trail.
