Pantai Keracut

Pantai Keracut is Penang's most remote beach. It is within Penang National Park, on the west coast of the cape at the northwest of Penang Island. It shelters a meromictic lake, i.e. one with distinct layers that do not mix.

Green turtles nest there from April to August, and the Olive Ridley from September to February. In 1995, a turtle hatchery was set up in Pantai Keracut, and is now managed by the State Fisheries Department, Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) and the Forestry Department.^[1]

Some of the rare mammals of the National Park have also been spotted at Pantai Keracut.^[2]
