It was still very early in the morning when we reached the National Park. Thanks Merritt's parents for fetching us there. For your info, the national park is located at the end of Teluk Bahang where you can go no further without a ship/boat. And is the smallest National Park in Malaysia.
We took the route to Monkey Beach. Yes we did reach Monkey Beach , and we continued walking thought that we can see the lighthouse. But end up we reached Pantai Kerachut instead, and on the way there I dont see no lighthouse.
Along the way, theres stairs and bridges , and they are nice. Real Nice. The stairs are a good sign to us to show us we're on the right track
And then theres this Rocky place, full of tide pools. When there's tide pools theres crabs, lots of them. The barnacles are really disgusting, they give me the creeps , I dont like them.
The USM research centre. This is where the USM students do research on Marine lifes.
And this thing over here, we first thought it was a normal shell with nothing inside. But poking it with an umbrella, it moved. Its a hermit crab. I've never seen a hermit crab on Penang's beaches. This is my first time.
The meromictic lake in Pantai Kerachut, this is where the lake water and the sea water meet each other . This lake kinda stink and it looks brownish. I wonder do those people who camp here pee and poo here?
This is what we basically do in Pantai Kerachut, we relax . Sleeping on the hammock by the beach is great. We stayed there for about an hour and then we took boat back, couldnt walk for another 2 hours.
Penang National Park.

I have been the Penang Hill by walking at Botanical Garden there. But I haven't been before the National Park. By the way, my dad said that there have a hill which named Tiger Hill, it can bring you to National Park until Teluk Bahang, it needs 5 hours time to complete!
