Jellyfish are a major problem - saw 2 people badly stung last year and were treated with injections. The water is rather cloudy- I have only paddled along the edge- its such a shame as it is a beautiful beach. On Sundays the locals are seen playing in it- I'd keep to the hotel pools.
Beach looked lovely and the sunsets over the sea are spectacular but stick to the pool!
its a shame because the beaches do look lovely,but its not going to put me off 
hopefully will be going in april,thanks for replies.
It shouldn't put you off. You can always sunbathe on the beach and nip back to the pool to cool off!
yeah thats it, ive been doing alot of research and it does look nice i must say
Do the beaches have that tropical (desert island) look or do they look like your typical british style beach?
There are no donkeys but you may find ex racehorses, the occasional monitor, jet skis, paragliding,masseurs and quad bykes but with a tropical feel- Check the photos of far east-will add some more. It is worth it
would love to see more photos. We were there in 2001 so there must be some changes in Batu!
fiona!

have a look at the Penang album
Definitley a problem. We saw people getting stung very badly. Also on the beach by the Holiday Inn where we were it is fairly narrow and there are horses, plus all the waterspots, so stay off the beach. But as other people have said, it is great, the food in the two Hawker areas is cheap and delicious, the weather great, the cheap DVDs that you can buy work, so buy loads if you are into DVDs
