"Experience the Beauty of Straits Quay Retail Marina: A Scenic Jogging Path in Penang"

If you're looking for a scenic and enjoyable place to walk, jog, or take your furry friend for a stroll, Straits Quay Retail Marina is the perfect spot. The flat road provides a kind and comfortable experience for your knees, while the beautiful surroundings make for a breathtaking journey. Along the way, you'll see plenty of people with their dogs, some fishing, and others jogging, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.

One of the highlights of my experience was seeing a person with his pet iguana, who even teased me to pet his iguana, sensing my fear. It was a unique and memorable moment, adding to the already diverse and exciting environment. The pathway leads all the way to City of Dreams, passing by some of the most expensive and beautifully designed mansions by E&O.

Overall, I highly recommend Straits Quay Retail Marina as a great place for a walk or run. The picturesque views, lively atmosphere, and kind terrain make it an enjoyable and memorable experience for everyone."

Nang! Million times. Took me a while for gripping my composure that this is Malaysia. This is actually Penang and not overseas. My problem and the problem of people who always are under the impression that sea across Malaysian borders are more bluish and greener. You can’t blame me either. No one, none has spoken about Straits Quay. In fact, I knew zero percent on Straits Quay until I came over. Shopping mall and exclusive condo living on the floors atop, Straits Quay is sincerely the breather to Penang sea. Wah! Those super-duper boats are not mine. I can't afford by the way. Perhaps the only option for me will be piggy-backing any of the rich and famed Malaysians or foreigners for a ride in their boats. Straits Quay I was told is an enlivening watering hole and food seventh heaven once the sun goes down. Daytime and on weekdays, sure, you can meal at any of the eateries in the mall, but outside, choices are limited. In fact, I had to opt between the only two, side by side eateries at this hour. 3.00pm. That said, to those of you who hate being amongst the night crowd, day time is the better option for your alone time in, in Straits Quay. No rush, no hustle and bustle, and at your...

Parking problem:

1. If your car is big, you have to be extra careful & cautious when you park your car inside their indoor car park. This is because the driveways are narrow (expecially drive up & down the ramps, you will see a lot of the black paint stains on the wall, I also one of the careless driver who “contributed” to it, my car did scratch on the wall once when driving down the ramp). Besides, the parking spaces between each car are tide & small as well. So sometimes your car may get some scratches when the passenger or driver of the car who park next to your car open car door to get out & in.

2. If you park at their outdoor car park, there’re possibilities of hit & run happen since there’re no CCTV installed. I was the unlucky one whose car has been hit & run while parking there this afternoon.

3. Don’t ever think of park along the roadside. The police traffic will randomly come to give summons to those who park along the roadside. It’s expensive though. So far within these 4-5 years, I got two tickets from them.

I sincerely hope they can do something to at least improve the situation there. Since my favourite restaurant is over there and I’ll have to go...
