Teluk Duyung (Monkey Beach)

Teluk Duyung (6 March 2004)


Teluk Duyung is the bay at the base of Muka Head, in the Penang National Park. It is popularly known as Monkey Beach due to the presence of the long-tailed macaques in the area. Nonetheless it is a popular camping spot for hikers. There are some dilapidated bungalows here which were built by the late Tan Sri Loh Boon Siew. Depending on the tide, the sea here is strewn with litter and driftwood.

Teluk Duyung is the bay immediately after Teluk Ailing.

Getting there

Teluk Duyung is part of Penang National Park, and entered through the jungle trek that begins at the End of the World. Get information on getting there on the Penang National Park page.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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