Queensbay Coast, Penang

Queensbay Coast (20 May 2012)


Queensbay Coast is the eastern coastline of Penang Island anchor on Queensbay Mall. It is between the coastline of the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone and Bayan Mutiara.

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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
