I wont say it is the most beautiful beach but it is the most happening beach. You cant say you have been to Langkawi if you missed the Cenang Beach. Take a slow walk along the beach during sunset, i would say it is rather romantic though there are many activities going on. Shops surrounding are pricey because it is... More

If you have not been to Cenang Beach, you have not been to Langkawi. Young or old, the all year round sun (well... nearly), the water sports, the beautiful and clean beach are good reasons to be there. The shops along the road has something for everyone and there is a good selection of food outlets and spas. And in... More

Lots of water sports but not too great for swimming as many jet skis etc. lots of cafes and restaurants along the beach. Definitely recommend Sandy Beach Resort's restaurant at the back of the resort on the beach. Great local food and cheap cheap cheap. Not licensed though.

This is where it all happens here in Langkawi. Me and my wife just returned from Malaysia and we spent 3 nights in the island. Jalan Cenang is a must see in Langkawi and once you've been there, you would not spend a day without going there at least once for the food, the cheap purchases or to enjoy the... More

If you are looking for a beach holiday there are better options in Malaysia. The beach is white sand and gentle eater but there are too many boats and jet skis dodging swimmers. Restaurants and shops are Ok but nothing special
