Teluk Bahang is a friendly fishing village in the north western tip of the island Penang . The name Teluk Bahang means the " Bay of Heat Wave ", probably pointing to the high temperature of the sea breeze coming in to shore. It's only 5 kilometers distance from the touristy place of Batu Ferringhi.
The sea off Teluk Bahang is not suitable for swimming, due to the presence of jellyfish on account of the sewage discharged by the establishments and habitations along the coast.
