"Batu Maung - Just south of airport" Batu Maung by SLLiew

Batu Maung Travel Guide: 27 reviews and 106 photos

Batu Maung is now of easy reach with the extension of the coastal highway from the Penang Bridge.

It has been a sleeping rustic fishermen village but now a busy town.

Has quite a number of tourist destinations like the Sam Poh Temple, War Museum, Fisheries Institute aquarium and popular seafood restaurants by the sea.

A further drive away is the fishing villages of Teluk Kumbar and Gertak Sanggul worthy of a visit.
