one afternoon@MARINA Bay Miri

|

Marina Bay: Honestly I do not know how this name exists. Most of the Mirians are very familiar with Luak Bay, Tanjung Lobang, but not Marina Bay. Nevertheless, how it exist is not really the matter to me. But, the fact is that, its existence has surely made Miri more beautiful and attractive. Built on a reclaimed land, looking at the current situation, one could see the construction is still in progress –slightly slow though. But the basic infrastructure, such as road, lighting, drainage system, etc. had been long time (honestly I am not really sure when - the exact date) completed and used by the public. Despite that, we had been there twice.
How to go there: If you are from Luak or Tanjung Lobang or from the western part of Miri, about 300 meters after the Everly Hotel’s junction turn left to the second junction. You will find the Marina Bay signage in front of you near that junction. And, if you are driving from the Miri town or the eastern part of Miri, you will have to make a U-turn at the Everly Hotel’s junction.
There are a private (I think) Yacht facility, which is not open to public; a big sea-food restaurant and a nice beach line decorated with coconut trees. One can also see the old Sri Sarawak berth near the yacht berthing area. Apart from that, during a very nice clear day, one could enjoy the green and bluish scenery of the preserved forest and the beach - a place for shutterbugs to test their skills.
The sea-food restaurant is one of its kinds in Miri. Almost 100% built - made of solid quality wood with Balinese concept, the restaurant serves varieties of scrumptious fresh sea-foods, such as, crab, exotic fishes, oysters, few types of prawns, etc. specially cook to your favorite cuisines – normally Chinese, Thailand, Indonesian and Malaysian. The price is relatively high though, but the service is commendable. MIRI Boleh!
