Monkey Beach

Quiet beach, only accessible by boat at the moment as part of the trail is closed. Arrange a boat near the park entrance. It cost us 90 ringgit for the boat (round trip) and 50 ringgit each to enter the park. There are basic food and drinks at Monkey Beach and of course, monkeys. We opted to walk the first part of the trail, then met the boat at Teluk Ailing jetty. Nice jungle walk with a bit of up and down - for confident walkers only as there are lots of roots and uneven steps.

A hidden away beach to chillout and enjoy the beach away from busy penang. You can take a boat from the main entry of the national park. The easiest way to get here. You can also trekk from the the beach to a lighthouse.

Monkey Beach is a must-visit spot for anyone who loves nature and wildlife. The beach is beautiful and peaceful, and the monkeys roaming freely add a unique charm to the place. It’s great for a relaxing day out with family or friends. Just remember to keep your belongings safe and enjoy the playful monkeys from a respectful distance. Highly recommended!

A beach with a few food/beverage huts. The views are nice and there's cheeky monkeys to watch out for but it's so covered in litter that washing up it's not a nice environment to sit in, feel very sorry for the animals that call it home. The sea looked dirty so we avoided go for a swim. Only cool thing was watching the sea eagles gliding around.

The coolest beach i have been to in Penang Island! You must be careful with the monkeys as they will steal your valuables, but it’s their home so you should adapt to it :)

PLASTIC BEACH ! Nice naturale beach, cutes monkeys, but unfortunately human plastic behavior.

I have to concur with other comments I have seen about this place. The beach has some really fine, appealing sand and I enjoyed being able to photograph butterflies from close. However selling food there is probably not a great idea and there is little to see. Only deserves a short stopover. We couldn't enter the National Park and have no idea whether it can be visited.

Nice nature, fine sandy beach and monkeys and few other animals to see, we even saw a sea otter! Beware of monkeys of course as they do steal things. Unfortunately very dirty beach, surely it must possible to tidy up, put a litter bin and get rid of the empty abandoned huts.
