R&R Bagan Ajam

R&R Bagan Ajam (11 December 2017)


R&R Bagan Ajam (GPS: 5.43411, 100.37684) is the only rest stop on the Butterworth Outer Ring Road. Located by the seaside at Pantai Bersih, it offers stupendous views of Penang Island, and is one of the best places for island watching. The R&R has stalls selling meals and snacks, though at the time of my visit, everything seemed to be closed.

The coastline at R&R Bagan Ajam is sandy, but has be reenforced with rocks to reduce erosion. The shore is relatively clean, because there is a worker picking up the trash. I saw that the surrounding field is littered with trash. I suppose the worker hasn't gotten to it yet. Unfortunately, it is also a sad reflection of the low civic-mindedness of the people using this rest stop.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
