Langkawi Trip - Cenang Beach (Pantai Cenang)

Cenang Beach, or Pantai Cenang is one of the important landmarks here in Langkawi. If you did not step foot onto this beach you did not come to Langkawi. Okay that's really just my point of view. Anyway, Pantai Cenang is the most tourist heavily infested place in the whole island due to its beautiful beach as well as it's cheap resorts and motels lining along the beach. There also a lot of souvenir shops selling all kinds of stuff to cater for different types of tourist. The Underwater World is also situated here with the duty free haven, i.e The Zon & Coco Valley next to it.

Pantai Cenang is really hard to miss since it's only located 5-10 minutes drive away from the airport. You really have no excuse for not visiting this place at least once!

The sand here is pretty smooth compared to Tanjung Rhu and it get's comfortably cold at night when you sit by the beach and enjoy a drink.

Beach chairs are on rental basis

There's heaps of activities that can be done of the beach, hence it's no brainer why many tourists love to come here, unless they prefer more privacy.

The waters isn't exactly clear but it's good enough for me. Beware of jellyfishes though! I almost swam right into one! :O

Jet ski which i really can't afford =/

Sights of aeroplane flying past is pretty common..

Crabs digging out their homes

Once the sun sets, a new side of Pantai Cenang awakes as most restaurants start to do their business and tourists will throng the streets for some shopping. Some shops also sell cap openers at RM1 for your beer which are designed as key chains. Do drop by and buy one instead of using a spoon or your teeth to open that bottle of Carlsberg.

Bought an Angry Bird t-shirt and beach pants for myself as souvenirs. :D
