Esplanade Kuantan — Attraction in Pahang

Esplanade Kuantan is a lovely spot for both locals and tourists, offering a peaceful riverside atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxation. The well-maintained walkway along the river allows you to take a leisurely stroll while enjoying the scenic views of the Kuantan River. It’s also a great place for families, with seating areas and nearby food stalls offering local delights. However, it can get a bit crowded during the evenings, especially on weekends.

One of the most charming aspects of the area is the nearby street art. The vibrant murals and creative artwork scattered throughout the streets near the Esplanade add a touch of color and culture to the city. These pieces showcase local talent, often depicting traditional scenes, modern themes, or aspects of daily life in Kuantan. It’s an Instagram-worthy spot that offers visitors a unique glimpse into the local culture.

While you’re in the area, I highly recommend dining at Udang Celup. Their seabass celup tepung Restaurant is incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and delicious, all at a very affordable price. The portion size is generous, and the seafood quality is top-notch. It’s one of the best dishes I’ve had in Kuantan, and the casual atmosphere and friendly service only add to the experience. If you're a seafood lover, this place is a must-visit!

Whether you're strolling along the Esplanade, admiring the street art, or enjoying a great meal at Udang Celup, Kuantan offers a blend of natural beauty, culture, and...

Macam-macam aktiviti boleh buat kat sini. Kalau nak memancing, ada 2 lokasi terbaik (ikut pengalaman aku sendiri) (i) kawasan kapal karam (cari lokasi yang setentang dengan gerai jual jagung dalam cawan) rekod peribadi siakap 5.5 kg - tapi awas, jangan campak umpan jauh sangat, senang sangkut kat badan kapal karam, dan (ii) kawasan orang niaga basikal sewa - banyak kakap merah, senangin dan sembilang naik kat situ. Umpan? Pakai udang mati yang dibuang kulitnya pun boleh sangat dah.

Nak makan? Mc Donald's ada, gerai-gerai makan ada.

Nak isi minyak? Ada stesen Shell (sebelah menyebelah je).

Nak ambil duit? Dalam stesen Shell ada ATM Maybank.

Nak bawak anak jalan-jalan? Taman permainan ada. Tapi jangan hairan kalau ada nampak kawasan kubur lama tepi taman permainan tu (majoriti pengunjung tak perasan sebab terlindung dek pagar yang ditutupi rimbunan pokok yg cantik).

Yang terbaru, ada menara mercu tanda Kuantan dah siap dibina. Tak tahu apa aktiviti boleh buat kat atas menara tu - tak pernah naik lagi (boleh ke?).

Penat menunggu pesakit yang sedang dirawat di Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA)? Jalan kaki seberang jalan je, sampai la ke Taman Esplanade (orang sini panggil Benteng).

Kat HTAA dah tak boleh letak kereta kat bahu jalan sekarang ni. Kalau tak saman, MPK terus panggil tow truck je. Penyelesaian? Letak kereta kat kawasan parking tepi MPK (sebelah Mc Donald's), jalan kaki gi HTAA.

Ramai waris-waris pesakit melepaskan lelah kat benteng, ramai yang tidur berbumbungkan langit.

Keselamatan? Benteng tu boleh kata 24 jam orang tak putus-putus datang. Tapi pernah nampak satu pemuda kena cekup dengan seorang kakak ni sebab cuba mencuri handphone. Hati-hati di mana sahaja kita berada. Kalau nk lelapkan mata, mungkin boleh cari port berhampitan Mc Donald's atau lepak je tepi abang/pakcik yang tengah memancing. Biasanya mereka balik rumah dekat-dekat waktu Subuh (aku la tu hahaha).

Ramai yang datang dari jauh, tak sempat nak cari penginapan. Kalau pihak Majlis Perbandaran Kuantan dapat tambahkan kemudahan wakaf berbumbung memang amat membantu.

Nak buang lemak? Datang je jogging kat benteng tu. Pagi, petang, malam ramai yang jogging.

Nak naik bot pusing muara dan sungai? Kat benteng tu ada Kuantan River Cruise (betul-betul kat Mc Donald's).

Nak melepas hajat? Ada 2 lokasi tandas awam (berbayar). Kalau nak tandas percuma boleh pergi stesen Shell atau Mc Donald's.

Nak solat? Tepi stesen Shell ada surau lelaki...
