Jubilee Camp Beach, Teluk Bahang

Jubilee Camp Beach, Teluk Bahang (19 May 2012)


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.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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