Shamrock Beach, Batu Ferringhi

Shamrock Beach, Batu Ferringhi (26 September 2009)


Shamrock Beach is a stretch of rocky coast in Batu Ferringhi, on the northern part of Penang Island. It is located between Tanjong Bungah and Miami Beach, which is part of Batu Ferringhi. The area called Shamrock starts at the old Boon Siew Beach Villa and stretches until the next cape (where the main road makes a bend to the west).

Shamrock Beach is noted for its stretch of golden sand strewn with large boulders. Most of the boulders here have jagged edges, and are not as rounded off compared to those further north in Batu Ferringhi.

Shamrock Beach is popular among the locals, particularly the Malays, who go there for picnicking and angling. Swimming is not popular on this beach, as the water here is not that clean. Occasionally you may see a canoe passing by, as the Penang Watersports Centre is located a short distance to the south.
