Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah, Pantai Kok

Langkawi’s beaches are simply some of Malaysia’s best. From the sandy bays to the sweeping coastlines, the island’s beaches are renowned among locals, beach-bummers and revellers from across the world. Here are some of the more popular ones.

Pantai Cenang

The most popular beach in Langkawi is carpeted by fine, white grains of sand that doesn’t stick to you – this is the hallmark of a good beach. Delightful coconut trees and elegant casuarinas line the 2 km (1.2 miles) stretch of sand with resorts and chalets mushrooming in between. (Read More...)

Pantai Tengah

Pantai Tangah is separated from Cenang Beach by a small cape but retains the same quality of sand with an extra degree of quietness. You can rent boats to visit near-by islands or paddle around the shore in canoes and catamarans. (Read More...)

Pantai Kok

A beautiful sweeping bay, Pantai Kok may be relatively far, but the pay-off is ultimate seclusion in a beautiful, serene beach. Limestone hills with mysterious caves can be explored here with the help of a guide. (Read More...)

Tanjung Rhu

Tanjung Rhu, located in the north, is also known as the ‘Casuarina Beach’ for its abundance of Casuarina trees rather than the usual palms and coconuts. Tanjung Rhu is sheltered by the curve of the bay while its waters are shallow and warm. Life here is low, relaxed and soothing, perfect for a therapeutic getaway. During the low tide, it is also possible to walk across a sandbank to some nearby islands; Pulau Pasir and Pulau Gasing.

Datai Bay

Hidden by a tropical rainforest, the Datai Bay offers an exclusive retreat for the rich and famous. Some of the country’s most expensive resorts are located here. The secluded beach in the bay offers gorgeous sights, including a view of Thailand’s coast-line on a clear day. Besides beaching yourself, you can also explore the surrounding tropical rainforest and admire the gems of Malaysia’s natural heritage.See Hotels in Datai Bay
