Tanjung Bungah (also spelled as Tanjong Bunga) is a suburb of
Penang, Malaysia. It is situated in the northern part of Penang Island. It was
known as a fishing village, but now it's populated by many commuters from
Georgetown and people who work in the hotels along the beach. You will pass
through this area when you're heading to Batu Ferringhi. There are many hotels you can find here which are lower
priced than those in Batu Ferringhi.
Tanjung Bungah has become a favorite spot for foreigners to settle down in Penang because of its proximity to the educational facilities at Dalat International School as well as its proximity to the leisure areas of Batu Ferringhi and Gurney Drive. The Penang Branch Campus of Tunku Abdul Rahman College (TARC), which has its main campus in Kuala Lumpur is also located here.
There are many hotels available in Tanjung Bungah. They are situated between the beach and the busy road. There are traffic lights and a bridge for pedestrians to cross the road.

Tanjung Bungah is a valley of 1.5 km across and 4 km long
flanked by hills on the west, south and east, and the sea on the north. The
hill to the east is known as Pearl Hill or Mount Erskine and is 194 meters
high. The hill to the south leads to Bukit Bendera.
If you go to Malaysia, it is one of destination tourists
spot to experience the beautiful sandy beach. Two of the most popular spots,
Tanjung Bungah and Batu Feringghi are well developed ‘island paradises'
featuring top range accommodations and some natural attractions. The most
unique aspect of the island is perhaps how cultures combine seamlessly so don't
be surprised to find a mosque, Chinese or Indian temple a few hundred metres
away from each other.
