Pulau Kendi

This little island lies about a kilometer straight opposite the beach at Gertak Sanggul. It’s inhabited and used as an overnight stop by local fishermen who stay here to catch fish. The place was one of the best for snorkeling in Penang, with beautiful corals and tropical fish to match the best island destinations in Thailand and Indonesia. Unfortunately, as of late it seems that the excessive number of day trippers has spoiled the marine eco-system. Still, it’s an interesting offbeat trip to do when in southern Penang. How to Get There: Rapid Penang Bus 308 from Sungai Nibong Bus station stops at Gertak Sanggul beach. From here, it’s about 200RM to charter a fishing boat for a maximum of 6 people and makes a 2 to 3-hour trip. #urbanexplorer #happylaborday #beachvacation
