Gurney Bay - what to see and do there

Gurney Bay is Penang's newest and most eagerly awaited coastal playground. Costing RM58 million (that's how much the state government has paid out so far, for the completed work, out of the projected RM247 million)*, the first phase of the development was officiated by the Yang di-Pertua Negeri, Tun Dato' Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak on Sunday, 4 February 2024.

In this video, I do a discovery walk immediately after the opening ceremony, to give you a first hand look at Gurney Bay ahead of your own visit there.
