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.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
