Latest reviews on Gertak Sanggul's beaches

Long Sand Beach
2 Sam Dangles

While this beach has the potential to be a great spot, the litter problem is a major issue. Plastic and garbage are scattered all over the beach, including plastic bags, utensils, food containers, bottles, cups, and even dirty diapers. We managed to collect a significant amount of trash from a small section of the beach, most of which was left behind by visitors. It's disappointing that some people feel it's acceptable to dump rubbish in a beautiful natural setting like this.

Tanjung Asam Beach
6 Nora Kozlovsky.

We stumbled upon a stunning beach and decided to park our vehicle by the side of the road. The beach boasts of a breathtaking view and the sand is coarse with gentle waves. I felt like taking a nap while my kids and wife enjoyed playing in the sea. We didn't venture too far and couldn't find any public restrooms. It was a quick visit for us.

Esen Beach
10 Larissia J.

There's a simple path leading to this secluded beach, which is incredibly serene and pristine. Let's all do our part to keep it that way by not leaving anything behind except our footprints. The water here is some of the clearest you'll find in Penang, and there are plenty of sea shells and barnacles to discover on the rocks.
