Pantai Cenang, Langkawi

Pantai Cenang, Langkawi (6 June, 2005)


Pantai Cenang (GPS: 6.29559, 99.72281), also written Pantai Chenang, is a 2-kilometer stretch of fine powdery sandy beach fringed by coconut palms on the west coast of Pulau Langkawi.

Pantai Cenang is the main beach belt on the island, with the highest concentration of hotels and guest houses. Thanks to local regulations, no establishment at Pantai Cenang can exceed the height of the coconut palms. The place has changed a lot since the last time I visited in 2005 (I also visited last year, but the trip is so short I do not count that).

Nowadays, Jalan Pantai Cenang is lined on both sides with shops and restaurants. You can get most of your supplies here, as we did. There is a 7-Eleven as well as a few other mini markets where we re-load on items we did not bring from home.
