Pantai Acheh, Penang

The Farm, a aquaponics farm in Pantai Acheh, Penang (24 December 2022)


Pantai Acheh (GPS: 5.41569, 100.197) is a small Chinese fishing community on the west coast of Penang Island. It is located at the end of Jalan Pantai Acheh, which links to the round-island main road. The village is remote and to a great extend, detached from the hustle and bustle of the rest of Penang. On the way towards the village is the Sheikh Tahir Observatory, an Islamic astronomical centre where the sighting of the new moon is done at the end of the fasting month.
