3. Batu Ferringhi
A beach resort just outside of popular George Town, Batu Ferringhi was originally better known as a water sports destination (sunset horseback riding and parasailing are still popular here), but the seafront and its beautiful long stretch of white sand have become a popular destination for all sun lovers.
4. Mersing
A small town in the southernmost point of the Malay peninsula, Mersing is the main departing point for boats heading to nearby islands such as Pulau Rawa-a tropical island resort with blue waters that slope softly into the ocean and are perfect for swimming or just getting your toes wet as you walk on the powdery white sands. Pulau Rawa offers great snorkeling and diving opportunities but also chances to rent a kayak or try sailing.
