penang is beautiful. as if time stood till, as if you are walking on the
set of In The Mood For Love.
the beach is not nice though. but a trip on the local bus is worth that
experience alone [not the beach].

Not so clean, crowded, rocks mixed in with the sand.

Penang is a great place but it's not the stereotypical deserted island
paradise.

Compared to other beaches in Malaysia, or most anywhere else for that
matter, it rates about 4/10. It makes for a pleasant enough stroll or a dip
on a hot day, but it's not a beach one would go to if they were looking for
a beach vacation.
