This relatively unknown place is normally frequent by locals who went there to explore the lush greenery of Penang National Park & to camp at the designated campsite near the beach. Lately, more & more foreign tourist starts to give this fantastic place, a stop over.
Perhaps, it is the charming & alluring beauty of Pantai Kerachut that makes' it, the best gateway to recuperate from the hectic city life.Therefore, we decided to make our way there before the start of our new semester.
There are 2 ways to get to the beach. First, is by hiking & the second is by boat. Taking a boat will be faster but we decided to hike up.
To me, the start was the only tiring part of this journey. It is much easier compared to 30 minutes up Bukit Jambul Hiking Trail. Various signboard are put up, leading you to Pantai Kerachut, Monkey Beach, Muka Head Lighthouse and some others beaches. The hike along the lush greenery and astounding beauty of Penang National Park took us 1.5 hours.
