Seri Tanjung Pinang Promenade Tanjung Tokong, George Town
View of George Town from Seri Tanjung Pinang Waterfront Promenade
Seri Tanjung Pinang Promenade is a waterfront promenade along the waterfront in Tanjung Tokong. This 500-meter-long tree-lined pathway borders the Seri Tanjung Pinang luxury development emerging on the northeast coast of Penang Island. From the promenade, one can enjoy an uninterrupted panorama of George Town, from Gurney Drive all the way to the very tip of the Esplanade. The view of a whole row of skyscrapers reflected against the incoming tide is indeed breathtaking.
Fast taking shape to the north of the promenade is Seri Tanjung Pinang's Waterside, a marina and retail development that will host, among others, a hypermarket, a mall with department store, restaurants and entertainment outlets. Future development includes 740 acres of reclaimed land to form a string of artificial islands, introducing a waterborne lifestyle to Penang.
Getting there
The most convenient way to reach Seri Tanjung Pinang Promenade is by car. Rapid Penang Buses that pass through Tanjong Tokong Road includes U101, U103, and U104. Check the Rapid Penang Bus Route for details. The nearest bus stop is along the Tanjung Tokong main road in front of Island Plaza, about one kilometer away. At the Fettes Park junction, take Jalan Seri Tanjung Pinang beside Island Plaza. Go along the road until you reach the turning on the right to Jalan Bayu. Take Jalan Bayu and look for any of the right turnings. This takes you to the cul-de-sac where you can park your car and walk towards Seri Tanjung Pinang Promenade.
What to see and do there
Tanjung Seri Pinang Promenade is a great place to enjoy the scenery. From here, you can get a full view of the skyscrapers from Gurney Drive all the way till the Esplanade. On a clear day, Bukit Mertajam is visible too. When I visited the promenade, it was still brand new, with workers putting the finishing touches to the railings. The grass has not fully grown either.

SBI
Ever want to build your own website? Do it the right way by using
Site Build It (SBI). It has all the tools and lessons necessary to help you create a successful website. Once you have built an SBI website, you can also use it to recommend SBI to others with an SBI Affiliate account. What I like most about SBI is that it gives you a whole month to try it out for free, and if you don't like it after a full month, you can seek a full refund. That way, you can see for yourself how SBI can really help you create a great website.
