Pantai Jerejak

Pantai Jerejak is a middle-class residential neighbourhood in Sungai Nibong, Penang. It got its name from being on the coast overlooking Pulau Jerejak. Pantai Jerejak was established in the late 1970's and early 1980's as the population of Penang began to spill southwards and former countryside made way for residential development.

The houses in Pantai Jerejak comprise single-storey link house, double-storey link house and double-storey semi-detached houses. In more recent times, there are also a few high rises built around the periphery of the housing estate.
