WHILE many have ventured into the Penang National Park via its main entrance in Teluk Bahang, the park’s secondary access from Kuala Sungai Pinang on the island’s west coast is another path to explore.

Penang island’s last remaining strip of mangrove forest lies preserved in the park and visitors can get up close via a 20-minute boat ride from the jetty to Pantai Kerachut up north.
