我曾经2年前到过Keracut Beach当时的我还用这Canon S3IS,进入那里拍摄。期望这次有不同的感觉，虽然包包这次变成了沉重了许多，带埋全部武器真的不好受。一路上大家走走拍拍。。我们这次的行程最快的就是Jennyho 小姐一路上她都是带领走在最前面的一个接下来拥有我的老大和最耐力的Cloudyew 真的佩服不停拍摄的精神 :p 一路上有说有笑。。。不知不觉就到达了。
当时真的累倒双腿发麻，休息了一会儿又开始搏杀memory card 的机会来了。虽然天不是很蓝有些遗憾。但是还是不错过机会拍摄一番。。。大家也拥有自己拍摄的空间。
Penang National Park
History and fact
The Penang National Park spanning 1,213ha of land and sea awaits scientists, researchers and nature lovers to explore its myriad of natural treasures.
Previously known as the Pantai Acheh Forest Reserve, this pristine site harbours a wealth of 417 flora and 143 fauna species. Pantai Acheh Forest Reserve, located at the northwestern tip of Penang was declared the Penang National Park in April 2003.
Penang National Park is the first protected area legally gazetted under the National Park Act of 1980, signifying the State and Federal Governments’ efforts in protecting the environment.
Penang National Park was set up to preserve and protect flora and fauna as well as objects with geological, archaeological, historical, ethnological and other scientific and scenic interests. The park is unique as it contains several different types of habitat including a meromictic lake (a lake in which some water remains partly or wholly unmixed with the main water mass at circulation periods), wetlands, mangroves, mudflats, coral reefs and turtle nesting beaches.
Pantai Kerachut
The meromictic lake is the greatest attraction here. It is a popular picnic and camping site and famous turtle hatchery. Pantai Kerachut is the only beach where the Green Sea Turtle “Chelonia mydas” can be spotted. It is believed that the Green Turtle only migrates here for nesting.
From End of the World, follow the track along the coast until you cross a suspension bridge. Take the path on the left that leads away from the coast, or just use1A-6A-6B-6C/6D/6E. You should be able to reach Pantai Keracut in one hour and a half.

Meromictic lake
A meromictic lake has layers of water which do not intermix.[1] In ordinary, “holomictic” lakes, at least once each year there is a physical mixing of the surface and the deep waters[2]. This mixing can be driven by wind, which creates waves and turbulence at the lake’s surface, but wind is only effective at times of the year when the lake’s deep waters are not much colder than its surface waters. In a “monomictic” lake, this mixing occurs once a year; in “dimictic” lakes, the mixing occurs twice a year (typically Spring and Autumn), and in “polymictic” lakes the mixing occurs several times a year. In meromictic lakes, the layers of the lake water remain unmixed for years, decades, or centuries.
