Beaches of Langkawi
The western beaches of Pantai
Cenang, Pantai Tengah and Pantai Kok are the most popular beaches on
Langkawi with a wide choice of accommodation, restaurants and eateries.
Datai and Burau Bay surrounded by stunning tropical rainforest provide
the location for luxury resorts and one of the most stunning golf
courses in Asia.
While up north is the tiny, rustic, hideaway cove of Pasir Tengkorak
Pantai Cenang
Sometimes spelled Chenang, offers two kilometres of fine powdery sand
fringed by coconut trees and casuarinas. Located at the south-western
tip of Pulau Langkawi (Langkawi Island), about 18 kilometres from Kuah. A combination of
relaxing beach ambiance and modern comforts, the beach is lined with a
number of resorts, luxury class hotels, chalets and restaurants.

Pantai Tengah
Pantai Tengah, about 500 metres south of Pantai Cenang is a great place
if you're looking for somewhere to simply chill out. Accommodation
consists of low key chalets with more upscale resorts recently built.
Not ideal swimming conditions due to its position on the bay, but
picturesque and quiet.

Pantai Kok
On the western side of Langkawi Island, about twelve kilometres north of
Pantai Cenang, lies Pantai Kok, a beautiful powdery sand bay fringed by
limestone hills and forest. Quieter and more secluded than Pantai Cenang,
the area makes an ideal romantic getaway or a tranquil honeymoon place.
Four new resorts, a new golf course and a replica of the Thai palace
used in the film "Anna and the King" are among the other attractions. If
you're feeling energetic you can go jungle trekking or explore the local
caves. Pantai Kok has a few bars and restaurants but it's mainly a place
to simply relax in the natural beauty of the beach and bay.
Burau Bay
Situated on the west coast on the island of Langkawi on one of the nicer
beachfront sites. Burau Bay is set amongst a stretch of white sandy
beaches with good waters at the foothills of the camel ridged mountain
range of Mat Cincang.

Datai Bay
The north coast of Langkawi features a bay with the most stunning of all
vistas on the island, namely Teluk Datai and Burau Bay. The bay is home
to some of the island's most exclusive resorts and the stunning Datai
Golf Course.
Tanjung Rhu
Also known as Casuarina Beach, Tanjung Rhu is a beautiful, secluded
white sand bay lined with Casuarina trees on the north-eastern tip of
the island. The sea here is sheltered by the curve of the bay and, with
its shallow waters, is unusually tranquil, reminding one of a lagoon.
It's a quiet enclave with just a couple of resorts providing peace and
tranquillity.
