Compared with neighboring Thailand, the beaches of Langkawi in Malaysia are perfectly clean. Here you will be greeted by the warm Adaman Sea, the absence of waves (which, undoubtedly, is great for relaxing with children) and the purest white sand. Of course, you can not compare Langkawi with the Maldives, with their blue lagoons, but here it has its own charm. Considering the photo beaches on the island of Langkawi , I want to quickly buy a ticket to this tropical paradise.
Top 10 best beaches of Langkawi Island
Of the ten most popular beaches of the island, each has its own advantages. Consider more closely those places of rest that are on hearing from tourists:
- Chenang beach on Langkawi is the most famous and visited, because it is a center of tourism on the island. 2 km of sand strip are public, and therefore everyone can relax here. On the northern outskirts of the beach, the descent into the water is quite gentle, here come holidaymakers with very young children. The southern part is better suited for water sports at depth. Along the entire coastline lined hotels of various price categories - from expensive villas to cheap hostels.
- The beach of Tengah on Langkawi is located to the south of Chenang, being its continuation. This beach is very similar to its neighbor, but, unfortunately, its southern part gradually began to turn into a garbage depot. Perhaps, soon authorities will pay attention to this, and the situation will change for the better. Along the coast there are hotels of the middle price segment.
- A beach with black sand, or Black Beach is in the very north of the island. On it there is a cafe, a children's playground and tablets telling tourists that the origin of unusual sand is not volcanic ash, as many people think, but the result of the destruction of coastal rocks with tourmaline and ilmenite in their composition. In reality, this is a very exotic place - some 20 m of unusual sand, layers mixed with yellow.
- Kuah Beach on Langkawi is right behind the Park of Legends. The fact that there is no beach in Kuah is not entirely true. The beach is there, although not very large. Rather, it is a sand strip about 15 m wide, which ends in a sparse grove, where in the sun can be hidden from the scorching rays.
- Kok's beach will have to be looked for a bit, but this task will pay off, because a long wriggling snake, then tapering, then expanding beach is a local landmark . Starting near an exotic lighthouse in the Bay of Telaga, it stretches for 2 km. Here are the most fashionable hotels , and secluded coves and are called to spend a romantic evening here.
- Tanjung Rhu is similar to Chenang and is also divided by a cape. Because of the prevalence of premium hotels, there are very few places of catering and shops nearby, so you will have to stock up on provisions in advance. Right behind the beach are the famous mangrove forests of Langkawi.
- Pasir Hitam is very interesting with huge boulders, scattered then and there along the sand. Very close to the water there are fruit trees, which during the blossom fill the beach with bright red scarlet petals.
- Jalan Teluk Yu is located right in the industrial zone of Langkawi Island. Here come all lovers of natural beauty. There are no hotels, shops, but there are plenty of shops for recreation, parking and warm white sand.
- The beach in the bay of Pantai Pasir Tengkorak is a place for sea rest on the northern tip of the island. You can get here by car or bicycle, as this paradise is located far enough away from any housing.
- The beach near the airport offers unusual entertainment besides bathing and sunbathing - watching the take-off and landing of aircraft.
In addition to the listed beaches, the island has a huge number of sections of the coast, which are also suitable for swimming, but not so well known and common among tourists. Spending time on Langkawi, if the opportunity at least every day to change the place for a beach holiday. And when all the places have already been explored, you can go to the beaches of the numerous islands surrounding Langkawi.
