Ayer Itam Anchorage

✨ Hidden gem

Ayer Itam sits in the central valleys of Penang Island, about 6 km inland from George Town, making this a sheltered anchorage tucked well away from the bustle of the main waterfront. You're well placed to explore one of Penang's most characterful suburbs, known for its local markets, temples, and authentic hawker food. It's a low-key spot with a strong sense of local life rather than tourist polish.
