| Batu Ferringhi is the northern
coast of Penang, Malaysia. Batu Ferringhi is 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.
