Some reasonable restaurants here, and a nice place to come for coffee and soak up the marina views. There is a Starbucks with el fresco seating. There is a Papa Rich restaurant, but was temporarily closed last time we were there due to staff shortage

Also there is a flee market every weekend inside the complex where I found some foreigners selling hand crafts not easily found elsewhere.

There is plenty of secure parking on either side of the complex, cost is only RM1. It's a bit different from other parts of Penang so for that reason alone probably worth a visit. Of course there are good clean bathroom facilities here, also showers. I will post some photos next time I visit.

It's rather expensive to moor your boat here and no local food stalls, so for mooring Lankawi seems to be the preferred location

If you like expensive shops or restaurants, this place may attract you. I went for the attraction of the markets which was soooo disappointing. Nothing really there to attract you to buy, that you could not otherwise purchase at half the price in Georgetown. Once you are dropped off here, there is nothing else to do, but get a taxi to somewhere else. Unless it it a place you really want to tell friends you had been there, I would give it a miss.

A lovely setting at the harbour, and that is worth seeing and walking along the boardwalk, but the plaza itself does not have many shops and is very high end. However, it does have a great Converse outlet store and we did buy a few things ion there!
