Langkawi is an archipelago consisting of 99 islands of which the main island Pulau Langkawi is the only one that is actually inhabited. There are several smaller islands nearby that are well suited for day trips and about 20 different beaches, one more lovely than the other. Here are some of Langkawi’s finest beaches: Pantai Cenang – the most popular beach with many hotels and beach restaurants. At low tide you can walk over to the nearby island of Kecil Island but you only have two hours to return. Pantai Tengah – only one headland separates Tengah from Cenang but the beach here is as quiet as the neighboring beach is well visited. Pantai Kok – The beautiful beach is flanked by limestone hills with exciting caves that local guides take visitors to explore. Pantai Pasir Hitam – the name means black sand and the beach consists of a mixture of white and black sand. Tanjung Rhu – a shallow beach with warm water located on the northern part of Langkawi. At low tide you can hike over to the islands of Pulau Pasir and Pulau Gasing. Datai Bay – perhaps the island’s most exclusive beach with tropical rainforest in the background and the most elegant hotels. If the weather is really clear, you can see all the way to Thailand from here. Burau Bay – One of the island’s most beautiful beaches, secluded from stress and hustle and bustle. Pantai Teluk Yu – The name means Shark Bay but is completely misleading as this quiet beach is shark free and idyllic. The island has three waterfalls; one of them – Seven Wells – plunges down through the jungle via 7 natural pools. You can also make excursions by boat in the mangrove swamp, take the cable car and sail out among the islands and snorkel.
