Pantai Esen, Permatang Damar Laut

Pantai Esen, Permatang Damar Laut, Penang (4 February 2022)


Pantai Esen (GPS: 5.26765, 100.27067) is a stretch of sandy beach in Permatang Damar Laut, Penang. It is reached by a 15-minute trek from the end of Lintang Permatang Damar Laut.

I have known of this place since childhood (I grew up in Permatang Damar Laut, to be exact, our house was between Batu Maung and Permatang Damar Laut village), but it was only in recent years that this beach acquired the name Pantai Esen. I do not know who decided to give it such a name, but somehow it has stuck.

The sea at Pantai Esen is not suitable for swimming. It has a muddy bottom and you can see the mudflats during low tide. Most people go there for picnicking and sightseeing.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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