Skål International Penang wrapped up a well-attended outdoor outing on 19th April 2026, with 27 members and guests joining a morning hike to Monkey Beach and Muka Head at Penang National Park, Teluk Bahang. The group set off at 8:00 AM, making their way through the park's jungle trails toward the coast.
The hike to Monkey Beach took approximately one & half hours, passing through Penang National Park's natural terrain before opening up to the beach. Participants who wanted to extend their morning took on the optional trail to Muka Head Lighthouse, an additional 1 hour climb that offered views across the northern coastline of the island.
At Monkey Beach, the group rested and refreshed at the beach stalls, where food and drinks were on hand. The return journey was made by boat back to Teluk Bahang, rounding off the event on a relaxed note.
The 27-strong turnout made for a lively outing, with members and guests sharing the trail across a mix of experience levels. It was a straightforward event done well, reflecting the social spirit that Skål International Penang continues to bring to its calendar.
