Pantai Kerachut Recreational Forest is located within an interesting surrounding fronting a beach. Therefore, it is a suitable site for activities such as camping and picnicking. Hutan Lipur Pantai Kerachut is 5km from Telok Bahang Town.
Not far from the beach is an area perfect for fishing. Monkeys can be seen scampering around the forest and lucky visitors may get to witness ‘hawksbill’ turtles clambering up the beach at night.
This recreational forest which covers an area of eight hectares, contains creepers and shrubs, which are features of a coastal hill forest. Journey to this recreational forest which situated on the northwest coast of Penang Island, takes approximately 45 minutes by boat from Telok Bahang fishermen Village or 1 hour on foot.
Here, visitors can also camp-out. There are several camping areas equipped with cooking sheds.
"Sandy beach, clear water, nice view of sunset. You might see turtles here in Kerachut if you are lucky. Perhaps it's the only spot in penang and northern region where turtles come and go.
Also it has mesmerizing meromictic lake near the beach. A perfect fishing trip too." by ahpeng
