Bayan Lepas Waterfall

Bayan Lepas Waterfall (21 November 2009)


The Bayan Lepas Waterfall (GPS: 5.29996, 100.25941) is a small waterfall just outside the town of Bayan Lepas. The waterfall is located on Sungai Air Terjun behind the Mutiara Perdana low-cost flats and the Lembaga Urusan Tabung Haji complex.

The area around the waterfall has been landscaped and beautified by the local waterway department. A bridge is built across the cascades. The bank has also been paved so that vehicles can enter and make a U-turn to come out. There is also a wooden pavilion where you can go and have a picnic while you enjoy the scenery of the waterfall.

The Bayan Lepas Waterfall itself has a height of about 5 meters. It cascades down the smooth rocks to empty into a pool where swimming is possible. A retaining wall is built to form the pool. From there, the water continues its way down the stream to form Sungai Bayan Lepas which flows through the Bayan Lepas pekan enroute to Permatang Damar Laut, where it is discharged into the sea.

The Bayan Lepas Waterfall is a serene place for locals to go, to find some serenity and greenery. One can simply sit by the bank of the river, and listen to the water as it cascades down to the pool. It is a good place to visit on a hot day.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
