The beach strip of Batu Ferringhi offers a more resort-style nightlife than the city, with seaside bars, hotel lounges and the lively Batu Ferringhi night market where stalls stay open late. Visitors can enjoy a drink with their feet in the sand, watch fire shows or browse the market for souvenirs and snacks. The relaxed coastal setting makes it a popular spot for an evening out by the sea north of George Town.
