Penang National Park is the smallest national park in Malaysia, yet it is incredibly rich in biodiversity and cultural history. This protected area spans over lush rainforests, mangrove swamps, and beaches along the northwestern corner of Penang Island. It's famous for the unique combination of dense jungle trails and beautiful coastal views. The park is home to various species of flora and fauna, including the endangered green sea turtle. Notable features include the Meromictic Lake, whose waters do not mix, and the historic Cape Rachado Lighthouse. Visitors can enjoy hiking across trails that lead to secluded beaches or participate in wildlife observation along the mangroves.
