The place u stated there all need teksi. It is around 10minute trip by teksi. Ferry is just beside Port Cornwilis

aiyoyoyo, no need taxi lah.  Walk ohso can, not that far.   Just keep going down burma road and keep going in that same general direction and you will hit the seafront.  The jetty is just a little further up the seafront to the left.

For certain ppl 3km walk is not far but for average M'sian & walking under the hot sun..That's far wor..siao meh...

Try go to Pantai Kerachut in Penang National park, Teluk Bahang. The beach there is prettier, cleaner, less people/pollution, no dogs, no beach rempit and no need scared been hit by jetski. and if you're in the right season, you might saw some turtle and the meromictic lake full with water, very special with 2 layer of hot/warm water at bottom and cold water on top.

*the only way to get there is by boat or hiking.

Baru Ferringhi not for penang people go one, only those who never see beach before in their life will go there.

There's no chalet or resort in p.kerachut. Only camp site   The entrance into national park is free, but you need to register at the counter first. For the boat ride, it normally cost RM10 per person (negotiable). For those more adventurous, you can hike in, it takes around 45min-1hour.
