Pulau Betong Beach @ Balik Pulau


Pulau Betong Beach “勿洞岛海滩”位于槟城的西南部。它位于靠近在 Kampung Pasir Panjang“甘榜巴西班让”。它是个偏僻的海滩,很少人来到这里。那里也没有公共交通工具到达这个海滩。你需要通过小丘陵的路才能够到达这里。它是一个属于比较小,但真正美丽的海滩。海水很干净和很适合游泳。这是个被主要旅客遗忘的美丽海滩。


Pulau Betong Beach is at the south western part of Penang. It is located near at the Kampung Pasir Panjang. It is remote and there is no public transport reaches the beach. To reach the beach, you need to go through a small and hilly road and it is a truly beautiful and hardly touched area. The beach is small and really clean and good for swimming . It is a forgetten beach where it is seldom visited by the mainstream tourists.
