Cotai Strip
In the past, Coloane was separated from Taipa by the Seac Pai Bay, which was crossed by a causeway, the Estrada do Istmo, connecting Coloane to Taipa. However land reclamation has physically connected the two islands and a new area for development called Cotai has been built between Taipa and Coloane, which is home to the Cotai Strip and several other casinos under development.
