Cheap grub and we were the only 2 on the beach! Water has a strong current but the view and peace is fab.

If you aren't into jet skis, para sailing, banana boat rides or crowds, head to this beach near the north of the island. Granted that it is quite a drive, if you have rented a car and a gps, you'll get there in one piece. We did. There is a security checkpoint so if a security guard makes you sign... More

The beach was clean and the water was warm but not much in the way of amenities beyond a snack bar and a few clothes stalls. No where to change so go prepared.

Went independently to Tanjong Rhu on a recommendation. Managed to get a private boat for $200 for a two hour trip to see feeding of the kites and eagles, feeding troups of macaques and seeing the bat caves. We also went to a fish farm and had lunch at the floating restaurant. I would recommend going when the tide is... More

When we visit Langkawi we love to take a trip to the beach at Tanjung Rhu. This year the road was barred by a security checkpoint. We had to fill in a questionnaire to proceed. The many shops that were at the end of the road were all closed. When we walked onto the beach there was a big fence... More

This beach is just magical, from the moment you step into the sands and see the three islands across, seems surreal. It's a secluded beach so not very touristy which is perfect. It may not have the powdery white sands that Cenang has but the overall atmosphere here is one of the best. Getting here is quite easy even if... More

We were lucky to stay at the hotel and walked out to the Karsts via a sandbank each sunset...spectacular.

Nice beach but if you have only time to visit one, the Datai bay beach is stunning.
