Gertak Sanggul Trail
About
On Penang, Gertak Sanggul Trail runs along Jalan Gertak Sanggul in the Gertak Sanggul area, 11910 Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang. The trail sits on the south-western coast of the island, in a quiet stretch away from the main resort strip.
Visitors have given it a 4.7 out of 5 average across 35 reviews, a strong record from those who make the trip. George Town, Batu Ferringhi, Gurney Drive, Penang Hill, Balik Pulau, Tanjung Bungah, Teluk Bahang and Georgetown Heritage are among the nearby places that frame a visit to this part of Penang. First-time visitors should expect an outdoor route rather than a built attraction, with the coastal setting as the main draw.
Reaching the trail from the main resorts and towns involves the island's coastal roads, which wind through the south-western villages. The route follows Jalan Gertak Sanggul, the road that gives it its name.
Malaysian islands have an equatorial climate with high humidity and rain falling throughout the year, so early mornings tend to be the most comfortable time to walk. Coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangroves grow around Malaysian islands, supporting turtles and reef fish, and the coastline here is part of that wider marine picture. Rice and noodles are staples in Malaysia, flavoured with sambal, coconut milk and belacan shrimp paste, and the food stalls around Balik Pulau are a good place to try them.
