Penang is considered one of the most chic tourist cities in Malaysia. It is a city full of diverse arts and cultures. It is a modern city with convenient public transportation, making it a livable and attractive city.
But in addition to sightseeing in the city for shopping, seeing street art or visiting various religious sites, Penang also has beautiful beaches.
Pantai Esen is another beautiful beach in Penang with a great atmosphere. This beach is about 2 hours from George Town. You can take a public bus to get there.
The beach is located next to the village. Walk a little into the village and you will find the beach. There are not many tourists here. Most of the people who go there are locals, so the atmosphere is quite peaceful and not crowded. It is very suitable for sitting and relaxing.
The day I went, I intended to just sit and watch the waves for a while and then go back because before that, I stopped by Queensbay Mall, which is not far away. But when I got there, I enjoyed sitting there from 4 pm until the sun set. I will tell you that the sunset is very beautiful. The orange color from the sunlight hitting the water surface made the orange light shimmer on the water surface very beautiful. Before I knew it, the sun had already set. So it was time for us to go back. To return, you can walk to wait for the bus on the main road. Sit all the way to George Town. Sleep very well 😂
