    It's a great place to unwind by the strait while enjoying the view in the city. On clear days, one can clearly see Gunung Jerai in Kedah as well as Bukit Mertajam in Mainland Penang (Seberang Perai). There are a lot of hawker stalls here at the Renong Cood Court but can be quite busy on weekends and school holidays. As of August 2023, the esplanade is still under upgrading project, so the parking spots can be quite limited as well as places for visitors to sit and relax.

    The Esplanade Walkway is the latest addition to the beautiful waterfront. When walking at this lower terrace, one can feel the tide coming in. Great place to visit...besides Padang Kota, Fort Cornwallis...and the nearby FoodCourt to serve one's thirst or hunger.

    Good weather and good views here, they have several benches which allows you to sit and enjoy the great views But little shelter here, nearby thereā€™s some government buildings and also there is the nearby harbour Not a busy place especially on a weekday so itā€™s great for photos

    You guys should try Link Bike Apps and round the area with the bike. Only RM3 per day and it's free for the first 30 minute! Nice view but it was super hot today. Don't forget to keep hydrated! ā¤ļø

    Good view of the sea and skyline. It was breezy and cool which was not the usual balmy weather that greets occasional visitors.
