Langkawi Beach

Have fun at 7 beaches in Langkawi

_________________________________________

Kuah

Kuah is Langkawi’s main town, where the ferries arrive at the island. It is filled with shops and restaurants and is the only area where you would find banks. While there are many hotels in Kuah, there aren’t any resorts here possibly due to the lack of beach and Kuah’s commercial development. Next to the jetty is an attractive landscaped ‘folklore theme park’, the Lagenda Langkawi Dalam Taman, where several Langkawi legends are illustrated by colourful statues.

Pantai Cenang

Noted as the most popular beach in Langkawi, the Cenang Beach is 2 km of beautiful soft white sands and clear blue sea. This is where most of the beach resorts and chalets are. It is also flanked by a good selection of restaurants, bars, and shops. A very popular stop is the Zon duty-free shopping haven and next to it is the Underwater World featuring about 200 species of marine and freshwater life.

Pantai Tengah

Separated from Pantai Cenang by a small cape, Pantai Cenang shares the same beautiful beach features of white sands and clear water. The added value here is its extra degree of quietness. There are some excellent restaurants here along with some inclusive resorts which are mostly popular with young families. There are other basic chalets available here too.
