It was among the oldest towns in Penang, accessible only by ferry from Bukit Tambun. Development of the island has come under intense scrutiny after the government chose Batu Kawan as the mainland site for the future Penang Second Bridge. The island is also the location for the Batu Kawan Stadium (Penang's state stadium). The tiny island has many hidden historical gems, dating back to the days of the British colonial masters.

There was a clubhouse frequented by Europeans who worked and lived on the island, where they danced and dined at night. The clubhouse is long gone, and locals refer to it as Batu Musang beach. The only structure now in the vicinity of this secluded beach is the newly built Batu Musang jetty.
