[Langkawi] Hidden Cafe
#malaysia This cafe is truly the #hiddengem of Langkawi. No wonder it is named “Hidden”!
While a large stretch of the Cenang beach is undergoing renovation, this cafe retains a portion of the beachfront so you get to chill and enjoy the sea breeze, away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy Pantai Cenang area.
The food and drinks weren’t too shabby too, so try and find this “Hidden” cafe when you visit Langkawi!

unforgettable moments at this beach⛱️
A must visit beach at Langkawi Island, It's called Pantai Cenang, Cenang Beach. We went to there around 5pm, we wait till the sunset. Sunset is so beautiful like a paint. Enjoy the breezy at the beach. The sea water is cool, we all take off our shoes and run to the sea. The sand is not hard, but not soft enough. We didn't enjoy the water activities such as parasailing, but still very happy with our friends.
There restaurant and bar around there. I try coconut water, so refreshing and suit the vibe.
There are also public toilets and place to wash your shoes and feets, so don't be worry about it if your legs and feets are fulls with sands.
Recommended to come at 6pm for the sunset.

A must visit beach in LANGKAWI
The beach well maintained and generally clean. Pantai Cenang is the most popular beach on the island with operator offering visitors waterspot opportunity like jet ski g, kayaking and so on. Pantai cenang is public beach accessible 24hours and no entry fee. Lot of place to eat and lot of food stand or food stuck. Chenang is buzy area during holiday. It's worth going down for the sunset and then to watch the fireshow through. #awesomepic #mytripvlog #langkawi

3D2N Langkawi nature trip
It is a really memorable trip to Langkawi. Unexpected trip as it all happen at the moment I manage to grab cheap ticket for rm50 round trip 3 weeks before the trip happen.
P1:
Sunset at pantai cenang. Manage to capture after back from a sunset kayak tour.
P2:
A pantai that I pass by on the way back to airport. Horse riding is available at rm10. If you got nowhere to go before getting back to real life, here's a spot to chill.
P3 & P4:
Photo taken during sunset kayak tour. wonderful sunset in the middle of the sea. The plane just flew above your head. Seariously worth the price.
P5 - P7
Island hopping tour. Visiting beautiful nature point including the beras basah island and the lake. Can get a cheap price on shopee.
No highway. One main road around the island so need not to worry about driving on the island. Just grab yourself a scooter or car then you are off your way to explore this peaceful island.
3D2N isnt really enough. 4D3N or 5D is better for you to explore the whole langkawi. Only manage to explore the west. Looking forward to visit the east and north next time.

Experience Langkawi - Encounter a Beach Sunset
In her travel notes, Sanmao once said, "In every day in Langkawi, I do nothing. Either I comfortably sleep on the warm beach, or I lie under the gently swaying palm trees, with the warm sea breeze brushing my face, and the rolling waves ringing in my ears. My dreams begin to soar, and my life blends into the tranquility, leisure and nature of Langkawi." Just reading the words can imagine the wonderful leisurely mood. And my trip to Langkawi was a sudden whim, as I saw a cheap plane ticket and couldn't resist clicking on it.
🌟First Encounter with Langkawi:
Arriving in Langkawi in the afternoon, the car raced along narrow roads from the airport to Chenang Beach. Along the way, there were patches of lush green rice fields and mostly red-roofed bungalows, with a few tall palm trees dotted in between, standing out prominently. Looking out through the car window along the horizon, there was an endless sea, with thick clouds pressing down low. Looking further out, it was connected to the sea in a line. Green, red, blue, white, simply depicting a beautiful island.
👍Watch a sunset by the beach:
After completing the check-in process, we went straight to the beach. It was close to dusk and the heat by the seaside had dissipated quite a bit. As we walked, the sky slowly turned into a golden hue, then gradually turned red, illuminating the entire sky.
🏨Accommodation information:
Chenang Beach is the first choice for most people visiting Langkawi. Next to the beach is Jalan Pantai Chenang, where there are various restaurants, hotels, and small shops selling swimwear and souvenirs. Most tourists stay here and can book in advance online or find accommodations upon arrival with many options to choose from.
🚉Transportation guide:
Langkawi has no public transportation, so the only way to get around the island is by taxi or rental car. Taxis here do not use meters, and each pick-up point has a price list based on distance, so we don't have to worry about drivers overcharging us or haggling over prices.
From the airport, it takes about twenty minutes by taxi to get to Zhennan Beach, and the driver can take you directly to the hotel.

Explore Langkawi - the beach is right outside your door at Chenang Beach.
If you like the sea and want to get away from the crowds, Langkawi is a good choice. It is the largest group of islands in Malaysia, composed of unnamed small islands of various sizes, standing peacefully on the blue sea, without too much noise from tourists or peculiar scenery, like emeralds scattered by the Creator in the world, tranquil and indifferent.
🌟Highlight features:
Here, there is cool and blue seawater, gentle and long beaches, as well as beautiful tropical natural scenery. In Langkawi, even if you don't go out to sea or go to the town center, just stay quietly by the beach watching tourists sunbathe and watching the locals play freely, you won't feel bored. The scenery composed of blue sky, blue sea, white sand, and green trees is simple and beautiful. Although the scenery by the sea is mostly similar, what people long for more is the relaxed and comfortable feeling when facing the sea.
👍Most recommended:
Chenang Beach is the first choice for most people visiting Langkawi. The beach is just outside the door, making it convenient for sunbathing or sea activities. The island's charm is fully displayed in front of tourists.
✅Next to the beach is Zhennan Avenue, which is actually a narrow road. On both sides of the road are various restaurants, hotels, and small shops selling swimsuits and souvenirs. Most tourists stay here.
✅As a public beach, there are not many tourists here. The sand and water quality are acceptable. The soft and delicate white sand stretches endlessly, flawless, pure, transparent, and quiet. This is the color that nature gives to the sea, and it is also a color that can melt oneself. The scenery by the sea is so simple, yet it is unforgettable.
🚉Transportation guide:
Langkawi has no public transportation, so the only way to get around the island is by taxi or rental car. The taxis here do not use meters, but instead have fixed prices listed at each pick-up point based on distance, which eliminates the need for bargaining and prevents drivers from overcharging.
From the airport, it takes about twenty minutes by taxi to get to Zhennan Beach, and the driver can take you directly to the hotel.

Beautiful scenery at cenang beach!
This is by far the best holiday destination and a very nice family friendly beach, you can go for strolls, sunbathe , or do a lot of activities. The sand is super clean, there’s plenty of beautiful sea shells to collect. Just be carefull from January till june , there will be some jelly fish, not really an issue here, but just swim where others do, to be on the safe side.

Gorgeous Langkawi
We spent 10 nights at Cenang Beach, Langkawi, Malaysia. Every evening we get to see this absolutely gorgeous sunset. During the day, you can simply chill on the 2km sandy white beach which is also full of water activities like parasailing, jetski, banana boat ride, etc. Restaurants and bars line the shoreline of the beautiful beach day and night with a fire show every night. We had a few sunset dinners by the beach and enjoyed the amazing sunset while we dine and also the fire shows after dinner. In the night, the main Cenang street is just as vibrant with restaurants, bars and desserts shops to keep you entertained.

Fly to Langkawi to celebrate Valentine’s day. Spending the morning at Cenang beach, it’s hot but windy. Not many restaurants nor store open in the morning. They seems to start operating at noon. A bit hard to find place for breakfast but we managed to find a local restaurant that serving both local and western selection.

The BEST PRIVATE resort @ Pantai Cenang
#resortstyle @ Delta Cenang Resort, Langkawi, Kedah, MY
Pantai Cenang is well known for a beautiful sandy beach. A lot of restaurants and stalls along the road make it a centre for tourists attractions.
The beach is always full of people swimming, play the watersport, build sand castles or just sit , having a picnic or sunbathe. So staying at Pantai Cenang can be troublesome for some people who want to to be at the centre of attraction but still want some privacy and enjoy the calm and serene environment.
Delta Cenang Resort is the best place to check in as it is located at the end of Pantai Cenang. Most of the watersport activity is at the middle of Pantai Cenang. So, it is more quiet around here. It is less crowded as most people dont wanna walk to the end of the beach. So mostly only the hotel guest will use the beach in front of the resort. So its kinda private beach to the guest. The resort also provides parking for the guest. It is one of the besf facilities that offered by the resort as parking is hard to find at Cenang. So , this resort has become my no 1 resort at Cenang!!

Ala Thai Food @ Cenang
Islandish is ala Thai seafood restaurant located Jalan Pantai Cenang, opposite the Underwater World Langkawi.
The waitress are very friendly and good at recommending the food that best suit your taste.
I tried their Thai Fried Rice as one of the best fried rice at this restaurant. Besides that, I also ordered Green Curry Chicken and Omelette.
The food is simple and delicious with a very reasonable price.

BAKSO CENANG
Claimed as World No.3 Best Bakso in the world, Bakso Cenangs definitely a stall of choice if you to get a light meal. A choices of Mee Kuning, Kueh Tiaw or Mee Hoon to be include in your Bakso (Meat Ball).
You can try their Special Bakso, where they include the giant size bakso into your meal. To exchange the taste, you can add on the spices which is really spicy and the shrimp gravy.
For the price of RM6.80 (Regular Bakso) and RM8.80 (Special Bakso), I personally feel that the price is cheap, as it’s located at the centre of tourist attraction at Pantai Cenang.

Telaga Walk-Food Hub in Langkawi
In November 2022 my students and I participate in an event in Langkawi and stayed around Pantai Cenang. Not too far from it, just 5 minutes walk from Pantai Cenang is Telaga Walk. Here you can find more than 20 food and drink stalls that sell verities of local and western food. The place is clean and prices of food are reasonable.
Telaga walk is also used for events like exhibitions, talks, community engagement etc. It was a lively place in the evening when more activities like fire shows and buskers playing life music to entertain you while you are eating. Definitely a place to bring your family and friends to chill out after activities in the day. Recommended!#foodie #deliciousfood #mytripvlog

Nice vibes at Cenang beach. Although overseas tourists have not returned to this beautiful island, it’s such a pleasure to spend a night here, soaking in the atmosphere with beers and good companies. The occasional rains didn’t dampen our spirits and we had a good time. Hope to return soon.
