Moonlight Bay

View of Moonlight Bay from Moonlight Bay Villas (11 August 2020)


Moonlight Bay is a beautiful stretch of coastline in Batu Ferringhi, Penang. It is located between Miami Beach to the east and Batu Ferringhi proper to the west. It can be determined by the section where Jalan Batu Ferringhi makes a sharp cornering over a ravine.

The beach at Moonlight Bay is wide with the sand between ranging in hue from white and golden. The area used to be very popular with picnickers and bathers, particularly in the 1960s and 70s, but today, as with much of Batu Ferringhi, the water now is considered not clean enough for swimming.

There are numerous rounded boulders at Moonlight Bay that gives it the "quintessential Batu Ferringhi" appearance that makes its way into Penang postcards. As with elsewhere along Batu Ferringhi, the inland area has succumbed to property development. The housing development in this area is Moonlight Bay Villas & Condo Villas By Ivory, by the same developer as Ivory Island Resort to its immediate east.

About this website

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.
