Pantai Cenang – Langkawi’s main vein – may not be as rowdy as the Las
Vegas strip but it is Malaysia’s most developed west-coast beach; its
shores are a gorgeous mix of white sand, crystalline turquoise-blue
waters and verdant palms.
Crammed with mostly budget to mid-range
hotels, Pantai Cenang – located 25 km west of Kuah – is also home to
more than a few high-end resorts. When the sun goes down a peculiar
jumble of backpackers, expats, Asian tourists and families throng the
main road to eat, drink and window shop.
