Pasir Pantai Tengah Beautiful Beaches

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.

Located next to the Langkasuka Beach Resort at Kuala Muda, Aquabeat has action packed rides designed for thrills and spills. For those who can't swim but don't want to be left out, you can relax in the outdoor Jacuzzis.

Other facilities include a retail shop, ice cream parlours, restaurants and a fast-food outlet. Lockers are also provided for your belongings.

On the southern-most tip of Langkawi, somewhat to the middle of the island, lies Pantai Tengah, which means 'Middle Beach' in Malay. The 1km long beach links with Pantai Chenang somewhere just after the Lighthouse Restaurant, making it the longest stretch of beach in Langkawi. The scenic coastline has mostly been taken up by resorts and chalets. Sea activities such as boating is popular as the area is near to some of the most beautiful islands, namely Pulau Singa Besar, Pulau Beras Basah, Pulau Rebak Kecil and others.
Great fishing can be had near Pulau Rebak Kecil, which lies right opposite Pantai Tengah Beach. Fishing enthusiasts claim that the rocky outcrop next to the island is a haven for garoupa. It takes only a 10-minutes boat ride to find yourself on the deserted beach of Pantai Tepor.

The sea at Pantai Tengah can be rough at times due to its location within a bay. However, during the evenings it is great to have dinner at one of the many resorts that dot the coast and listening to the muted sound of waves crashing on to the beach in the background.

Although contiguous with Pantai Chenang, Pantai Tengah is almost self-sufficient when it comes to amenities for vacationers. There is a good selection of restaurants from the Pantai Chenang junction right up to the hill that separates the place from Tanjung Malai. Just take a stroll up the road and you will find places serving delicious roti nan, chicken or fish tandoori, roti chanai, briyani, chicken rice and a whole lot of other dishes.

There is a spot opposite the road from the Lanai and the Holiday Villa which gets good patronage from resort guests who wish for variety when dining. Some great seafood restaurants are located around this area. The Unkaizen Japanese Restaurant is located on the hill before the Tanjung Malai approach.

Between the Pantai Chenang/Pantai Tengah junction and the cluster of eating outlets, are a number of shops and restaurants on both sides of the road with 'sun' as the prefix to their names. These would, invariably, include Sunseafood, Sunvillage, Sun Cafe, Sunflower Handicraft, Sun Spirit Cafe and the Matahari (Malay for Sun!) Malay Restaurant. These are probably owned by one very enterprising guy with a penchant for the sun. The quaint Sunset Beach Resort, a boutique hotel located in Pantai Cenang is also part of the chain.

Turning left from Jalan Pantai Tengah, you will come to a dead end with the sea stopping you right in your tracks. The Charlie Beach Motel will be on your left and on the right is the Lighthouse Restaurant owned by Chef Shukri, who used to manage the former Langkawi Village Resort (now known as the Frangipani). This very sandy beach area is among the more popular spots to watch the sun set.

Top Beaches

Batu Ferringhi

Batu Ferringhi, a thirty-minute bus ride west of Georgetown on Transitlink #202 or Transitlink air-con #93 (but not the standard #93), has a decent beach and several guesthouses, albeit filthy sea.

Teluk Bahang

The beaches around this rocky headland are better than the ones at Teluk Bahang itself, but since the big hotels run boat trips out here, it's unlikely that you'll have them to yourself.

Air Batang

A fifteen-minute trail leads over the headland to the north, which - after an initial scramble - flattens out into an easy walk, ending up at secluded Penuba Bay. From here, it's an hour's walk to Monkey beach, beyond which is Salang.

Juara

Juara is refreshingly free from the buzz of speedboats and motorbikes, while its lovely wide sweep of beach is far cleaner and less crowded than anywhere on the other side. The bay, however, facing out to the open sea, is the most susceptible on the island to bad weather.

Mukut Beach

Mukut , a tiny fishing village on the south coast, lies in the shadow of granite outcrops. Shrouded by dense forest, and connected to the outside world by a solitary card phone, it's a wonderfully peaceful and friendly spot to unwind, though be warned that this is still a conservative place, unused to Western sunbathing habits.

Salang Beach

Salang is a quieter option with a better beach, but there has been a lot of development recently and the string of hostels stretches pretty much the whole length of the seafront; prices tend to be a little higher than at Air Batang.

Pasir Bogak

Only a few of the chalets front the beach itself; most line the road that continues north along the west coast, but they're all reasonably close to the sea.

Teluk Ketapang And Teluk Nipah

The best beach at Teluk Nipah is Coral Bay - a perfect cove with crystal-clear sea and smooth white sand. The bay is inaccessible by road and to reach it you have to climb over the rocks at the northern end of Teluk Nipah (watch the tide).

Nipah Beach

Comprising a clean, empty beach of coarse, yellow sand and a landlocked lagoon, there's no village to speak of here, but there is a Dive Centre and canoeing.

Pantai Cenang Beach

The bay forms a large sweep of wide, white beach with crisp, sugary sand, but again the water here won't win any prizes for cleanliness.

Tekek Beach

The sprawling village of Tekek is the main settlement on the island and the least inspiring part of Tioman.

Perhentian Besar Beach

A stunning conglomeration of three beaches, separated from the main area of accommodation by rocky outcrops and reached only by speedboat, it provides a secluded haven between May and September for green and hawksbill turtles to come ashore and lay their eggs.

Perhentian Kecil Beach

East-facing Long Beach has been the target of most development on Kecil, not surprisingly, since it boasts a wide stretch of white beach and good coral nearby.

Pantai Kok And Telaga Tujuh

Pantai Kok lies on the far western stretch of Langkawi and is the best beach on the island, a large sweep of powdery white sand with relatively clear and shallow water - quieter and more secluded than Cenang and more intimate in feel.
