BEACHES AT LANGKAWI ISLAND

The tropical island of Langkawi is one of the most popular destinations within Malaysia. Though the island is recognised as one of the most beautiful islands in the world; you will never feel you're visiting a crowded tourist overrun island. Visit Langkawi for wonderful jungle, fantastic sightseeing and beautiful beaches. There is an abundance of accommodation available for every type of traveler, ranging from basic B&B's to luxurious 5-star resorts.

This time we will focus on the beaches at Langkawi island, where you will find great enjoyment.

1) Rhu beachSome of the best beaches are located along Jalan Teluk Yu and Jalan Tanjung Rhu. If you drive past the luxurious resort Tanjung Rhu there you will find the public Rhu beach. Here you will find some nice hawkers and also some souvenir shops. There is also a small harbor where you can book tours to visit the mangrove forests.

2) Buaru Bay (Pantai Kok)The beaches in front of Mutiara Burau Bay  and Berjaya Langkawi Resort  are great too, although usually somewhat more crowded (to be specific; this means you share a huge beach with around 20 other tourists, which is not that bad of course).

3) Pantai CenangProbably the best public beach can be found in the Southwestern part of the island; Pantai Cenang (which is also a very popular tourist place). Here you find a long stretch of white sandy beach, with nice restaurants and bars along the beach. Pantai Cenang is by far the most popular beach on the island.

4) Black sand beachTo the north there is the famous Black Sand Beach. Though it is not the best beach to visit for sunbathing; it is a nice beach with a fantastic view on some of the Thai islands opposite of Langkawi.



5) Pasir Tengkorak Along the way from the Black Sand Beach to the Northwestern part of the island, along Jalan Teluk Yu, you will find the nice and secluded Pasir Tengkorak beach.
