Teluk Awak

Teluk Awak, Penang (19 May 2012)




Teluk Awak is a small bay in the gulf of Teluk Bahang, in the northwestern coast of Penang Island. The area has a single road, Jalan Teluk Awak, lined with village houses. The people here are mostly Malays who live here as fishermen. There are also a few Chinese families, particularly closer to the Teluk Bahang Roundabout.

The Teluk Awak coastline has undergone some land reclamation, extending the land area seaward. Fishing boats berth at a wharf along the reclaimed tongue of land. Across the bay from Teluk Awak is the Teluk Bahang Jetty.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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