However, these beaches are a little lackluster as compare to other beaches in other states of Malaysia. Nevertheless, this city has its own unique features that are lacking in other states, as this city and its islands have very rich in culture.

Food is another specialty of Penang, and so this city is also known as “Malaysian Food Paradise”. Few of the major islands, as per the perspective of tourism are as follows.
