About

Pantai Kerachut, located in Penang National Park on Penang Island, is a picturesque stretch of white sandy beach, home to the Penang Turtle Sanctuary. Behind the beach lies a rare meromictic lake, unique for its layers of salt and fresh water. Though the lake may appear ordinary and can sometimes be empty, it adds to the area's natural charm. The beach, alluring after a hike through the rainforest, invites visitors for a swim. However, caution is advised due to the presence of large jellyfish near the shore, visible from the beach's jetty. This scenic spot combines natural beauty with a hint of adventure.
