Queensbay Coast is often regarded as the "New Gurney Drive". It attracts people, particularly the working class, who hang out here. There are benches along the promenade for you to enjoy the breeze. The area is one of the few where you can see both the Penang Bridge and the Second Penang Bridge.

One of the issues facing Queensbay Coast is littering. This is unfortunately due not so much to the lack of rubbish bin - which there are plentiful in the area - but rather to the uncivic-mindedness of the people. The authorities often take a shotgun approach by attempting to outlaw hawkers to the area. This is often blatantly ignored. I am not against hawkers stationing themselves at Queensbay Coast, however anybody caught littering should be slapped with a fine and cars blocking the way should be towed away immediately. The parking area should also be improved, so that people can come here and enjoy themselves.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
