Tanjung Rhu, Langkawi, Malaysia

Tanjung Rhu, Langkawi (6 June, 2005)

Tanjung Rhu (GPS: 6.45373, 99.82323), on the northeastern part of Langkawi, has some of the best beaches on the island. The name Tanjung Rhu means Cape of Casuarina, and refers to the casuarina palms along the beach as well as along the road leading to Tanjung Rhu. Tanjung Rhu is sheltered from strong current by the curve of the bay as well as Tanjung Ayer overlooking it.

Several five-star resorts are located at Tanjung Rhu, among them the Four Seasons Resort Langkawi and the Tanjung Rhu Resort. One of the most distinctive landmarks at Tanjung Rhu is the twin-shaped rocky outcrop next to Pulau Kelam Baya. Other islands off Tanjung Rhu include Pulau Pasir, Pulau Gasing and Pulau Dangli. Further in the horizon is the Tarutao archipelago of South Thailand.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
