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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
