July 2008. One of my weekend hike to Monkey Beach, Penang National Park with regular members. Today we have newbies and he is one of them. Here's our first stop which is the first beach at USM CEMAC after 25 mins hike via the jungle trail along the coastline. Usually we will take a short break enjoying the soft sand and look for pinkish shell that scatters around the beach. That's me trying to catch white mini crab, captured by bestie's camera.
After short break we further our hike by entering the jungle trail again from the end of the beach. After another half an hour, we arrive our destination~ Monkey beach. Monkey beach is the second beach of Muka head trail. As usual, we love to hang out at the giant rocks under the shady area, eat snack, watch others fishing or playing around the beach.
After we spend enough time hangout here, we hired a boat ride back to park entrance instead of hike back. Depending on boat sizes and number of pax, usually a boat will cost around RM80 for one way back for 8-10 pax. Ride on boat back to park entrance has become a routine for us as we enjoy the view along boat ride on the open sea after the hike. Along the ride, we could spotted hikers along coastline trail which we can't see much of the open sea while we were hiking inside the jungle. Recommend you to do so as you will be amazed how far you have hike to reach Monkey beach in the 15-20 mins boat ride.
