4 Best Beaches in Langkawi

4 Best Beaches in Langkawi

Pantai Cenang
For the most compelling combination of sheer beauty, convenience, and plentiful options, Langkawi’s Pantai Cenang is hard to beat, and it’s no surprise that it’s the island’s most popular destination.From guided scuba and mangrove tours to some of the island’s best seafood restaurants and bars, Pantai Cenang attracts convenience and value-minded visitors in droves.Pantai Cenang is only about 10 minutes from the airport and is particularly popular with those traveling with kids, as it’s close to Underwater World Langkawi and the Rice Garden Museum part museum and part open-air plantation that’s a big hit with families.

Pantai Tengah
Located on the southwestern edge of Langkawi’s tourist district, Pantai Tengah Beach is in many ways the perfect happy medium, making it a popular destination for the bulk of the island’s beach-loving visitors.Connected to Pantai Cenang, it is the quintessential Malaysian beach in nearly every respect; it’s also known for its unobstructed mountain views that are particularly amazing at sunset.With lodging, dining, and recreation options in abundance, making Pantai Tengah your base of operations while exploring the island would be a wise choice, especially for those visitors looking to make the most efficient use of their time and funds.

Pantai Kok
Pantai Kok beach is located northwest of the airport, which is in the opposite direction to the most touristy areas. It’s relatively undeveloped and comprised mostly of upscale resorts like The Verandah, Terrace, and The Sheraton.
The beach is noted for its clear water and white sand that’s often scoured by resort employees, whose job it is to keep it looking pristine. In addition to its natural beauty, Pantai Kok is also known for its beautiful and architecturally unique lighthouse and yacht club, which sports impressive boats and Moorish inspired domed buildings.Compared to other more popular beaches, Pantai Kok is quiet, up-market, and uncluttered, even along it’s swanky and trendy strip of shops, restaurants, and bars near the yacht club.

Tanjung Rhu
Located on the island’s north-central shore, Tanjung Rhu is characterized by the towering rock formations jutting from the water a few hundred yards offshore, which are reminiscent of scenes from The Beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Unlike the movie, however, Tanjung Rhu is home to a few of the island’s oldest resorts, of which Tanjung Rhu Resort is probably the most well-known.
If you head directly from the airport to Tanjung Rhu, you’ll immediately notice that you’re heading into an undeveloped area full of expansive tracts of thick forest and mountains.
