Pantai Cenang, Langkawi

Pantai Cenang is the principal beach on Langkawi's south-west coast and the centre of the island for visitors: two kilometres of sand with a single road behind it carrying restaurants, bars, shops and dive operators.

Langkawi is a duty-free island, which is why the shops along the strip sell chocolate, alcohol and cookware at prices that surprise first-time visitors.

The water is calm and shallow and the sunsets face straight down the beach. Parasailing and jet skis operate here; the quieter Pantai Tengah is around the headland to the south.
