Video clip about Langkawi in Malaysia
Langkawi, officially known as Langkawi, the Jewel of Kedah (Malay: Langkawi Permata Kedah) is an archipelago of 99 islands (an extra 5 temporary islands are revealed at low tide) in the Andaman Sea, some 30 km off the mainland coast of northwestern Malaysia.None of the beaches have very clear water (most of the time yo can't see your feet while swimming). For swimming in clear water, the best bet is TanjungRhu or PasirTengkorak.Pantai Cenang - The most popular beach in Langkawi, features fine powdery sand and many beachfront restaurants and bars. Located at the south-western tip of the island, 2 km long. This is also the busiest beach on island with jet-skis, banaboats, watersports, etc.. Along the beach there is market where you can find all type of shops (free duty, tour, bars etc)& restaurants. Unfortunately jellyfish are common here.Pantai Tengah - Located just south of and contiguously with Pantai Cenang. 1 km long. Means ‘Middle Beach’. Peaceful and tranquil alternative to the hustle and bustle of Pantai Cenang. Jellies are found here also. All inclusive resorts popular with families.Pantai Kok - Isolated, relatively undisturbed stretch of beach in the western part of Langkawi Island, 12km north of Pantai Cenang. Telaga Harbour as well cable-car ride to the peak of Mat Cincang Mountain and the TelagaTujuh Waterfalls are located here.TanjungRhu - northernmost tip of the island. Centuries-old limestone caves, mangroves, waterways, limestone crags and sandy beaches make it a nature lover's paradise. This beach is made up of 2 long stretches that include Tanjong Rhu Resort and Four Seasons. Restaurants, toilets, mangrove tours and sun chairs available.Datai Bay - The most expensive resorts are located here.Burau Bay - Beach lined with rocky outcrops located at the West Coast of Langkawi. Nearby Burau island is also a roosting place for migratory birds.Pantai PasirHitam - Means ‘Black Sand’. The sand is mixed in white and black shades, due to rich tin and iron ore deposits. Tour buses stop here; souvenirs, restaurants, toilets available. During low tide you can explore the beach further west and find very tranquil spots for relaxing.PasirTengkorak - Also called "skull beach". Very beautiful small beach in the North of the island. Water is clear here. No proper restaurant, drinks & snacks available at the parking lot. No public toilets.
