There are some snack stalls there and some small cloth shops. Dont go there in after noon as its too sunny there and almost... More

This is The best beach on langkawi, far better than cenang, tengah, pantai yu. A must visit beach, but since this is owned by private resort, so you will meet a guard asking about your activity here at the front of the main street, just tell him you already book mangrove tour, then he will permit you to come in.

In my opinion, this was the best beach in Langkawi. Drive all the way to the end of the island/road (past the permit stand) and look out onto stunning islands and rock formations. The sand is white and has an incredible texture. Around the corner to the right of the beach is an inlet with more great views and rock... More

Great, secluded clean beach with next to no one around. A little hard to find though. Head to the resort of the same name, speak to the security guard at the gate and ask for the beach. He will give you a form to fill out, the proceed down the road. Veer left at the end and there is the... More

Beautiful, clean, and deserted beach for those who want to get away from the bustle of Pantai Cenang.

Visited for lunch with two teenagers. Reception headed us to the beach bar. Once arrived we ordered drinks and as they were pouring them told us we couldn't eat in the restaurant with our children. They could have told us this at the front desk.

We have been to Tanjung Rhu beach as part of a day tour. It is located in the north part of Langkawi, thus a bit isolated from the main attractions of the island. We have been there around 2:30 pm and there were only a few people laying on the white sand. Part of the beach is private (accessible only... More

This was a bit of a trip from our apartment in kuah but had been recommended by the owner. The taxi cost myr35 which, between 4 of us, was very reasonable. The beach itself is stunning. It's opposite 3 islands which creates a beautiful view, and there are plenty of trees for shade. There are a few shops and a... More

Best beach in Langkawi with white sand and beautiful views. Nice and quiet and didn't have a lot of people since it's a bit far. Good place to relax.
