Where a car takes you from Penang
These are the day trips from Penang on our own pages where a car earns its keep. Trains reach some of them; a car reaches all of them, on your own clock.
- Balik Pulau Balik Pulau is Penang's orchard side: Musang King durian farms in season from June to August, nutmeg plantations and a laksa the town guards fiercely
- Teluk Bahang Teluk Bahang ends Penang's north coast road with fishing-village seafood, the relocated End of the World restaurant and the Tropical Spice Garden
- Butterworth (Seberang Perai) Butterworth, a short ferry hop from George Town, feeds Penang's mainland: Bee See Heong's wok dishes since 1966 and the Raja Uda hawker strips
- Bukit Mertajam Bukit Mertajam grew from a Teochew and Hakka farming town into Seberang Perai's food hub, its kopitiams and food courts still priced for locals
- Pulau Aman Pulau Aman is a fishing islet off Seberang Perai where the floating seafood restaurant and jetty stalls reward the short boat ride from Bukit Tambun
