Teluk Kumbar is a suburb within the city of George Town. It is situated at the southern coast of Penang Island between Gertak Sanggul to the west and Bayan Lepas to the east, approximately 17.7km southwest of the city centre. This relatively quiet suburb was named after the salak trees (Salacca zalacca) that grew within the area.
Teluk Kumbar was one of the handful of Malay fishing villages that were built throughout the island in the late 18th century. Agriculture, chiefly fisheries and rice farming, are the mainstays of the suburb. Since the 1990s, urban development has gradually crept into Teluk Kumbar as well and more residential properties are being built within the suburb.
The shoreline of Teluk Kumbar is slated for massive changes in the upcoming decades, due to the impending commencement of the Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project that will provide additional landbank for the city of George Town.
