Gurney Bay, formerly known as Gurney Wharf, is a seafront park within George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang. Intended as a "new iconic waterfront destination for Penang", the first phase of this public space off Gurney Drive was opened to public in 2024.[2][3]
Upon the expected completion of Gurney Bay by 2025,[4] the 24.28-hectare (0.2428 km2) park will comprise four distinct recreational zones - a beach, a coastal grove, a water garden and a lifestyle area.[5] The park forms part of the Tanjong Pinang suburb, in spite of its location along George Town's Central Business District.
