Jubilee Camp Beach is a beautiful stretch of beach in Teluk Bahang, Penang. It is located near the now defunct Mutiara Beach Resort. Jubilee Camp Beach stretches over a distance of 1.25 km from a promontory on the east to the Teluk Bahang fishing village to the west.
The Jubilee Camp Beach got its name because it was the campsite used by the Local Boy Scouts Association in the 1950s, until the scout campsite was moved to Coronation Camp off the present Jalan Kebun Bunga, in the mid 1970s. That camp site too was returned to the waterworks department, or Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang, in 2006.

Jubilee Camp, Penang (19 May 2012)
For many years, the Mutiara Beach Resort was the most significant landmark on this stretch of the beach. Ever since the hotel closed down, the beach has become a serene stretch, with the only feature being the Sri Singamuga Kaliamman Temple. The temple is a remnant of an Indian seaside village that was called Kampung Keling, which has all been erased when the area became a scout campsite. Curiously, it outlived both the scout campsite and hotel.

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.
