Butterworth Ferry Pier

The Butterworth Ferry Pier, officially known as Pangkalan Sultan Abdul Halim, is the ferry terminal on the mainland side of the iconic Penang ferry service. For over a century, this terminal has been the primary gateway for travelers and goods moving from the mainland to Penang Island. It is a key transportation hub, connecting the ferry service with the adjacent bus terminal and the train station, making it a vital nexus for public transport in the region.

From the pier and during the ferry crossing, passengers are treated to one of the best and most classic views of the George Town skyline from across the channel. The terminal is a place of great historical and nostalgic importance, representing the enduring link between the island and the mainland.
