    One of the best beaches that I'v ever seen. I called it "The Beach of Fire" because of the fire shows at the night. Many water activities can do here for all family members. There is a clean public toilet which is very import matter. White sands and mostly clean and clear sea. I hope to visit it again after Covid impct ends and the tourists come to visit Langkawi again massively. Now most of the tourism is local and increase on weekend days.

    My first visit to Langkawi and were glad we chose to stay at this beach. You have all the beach activities, night life and sunset viewing on this beach. The beach was clean except for some broken shells and big fish scales brought in during high tide. Lovely beach to jog in the early morning when it was empty. Before 7am, part of the sky would be lighted by sunrise behind the beach. In the evening, it was too crowded with boats and whatever motor vehicles for rent. Diesel smell was strong too. All the cafes and pubs were by the beach if you want a shaded area plus refreshments or dinner watching sunset. There were night street market and fire show in the middle of the beach street by evening. Guess they are there every night because we saw them 2 nights in a row...on Thursday and Friday nights. Perfect beach holidays!

    This is a popular beach in Langkawi that we visited on a weekday when there were less people. There are many restaurants in the area. Water sports such as jet skis and parasailing are available here. The beach is open to the public and looked clean. We found ample parking here.

    Main beach of Langkawi. It is the busiest beach town on Langkawi Island, with a lot of different types of cafes and restaurants, as well as souvenir shops, and duty-free outlets. It is just a 10-minute drive from Airport, Beach is with white sands and clear waters, and great for sunbathing as well as water sports. There are many High-end resorts, chalets and budget hotels here. Nightlife scene is the liveliest on Langkawi Island, with plenty of beachfront bars and lounges offering inexpensive alcohol and snacks, as well as live music and cultural performances until late night. I have visited 2 years 4 years ago but previous review got deleted somehow. So mainly adding the review and photos again.

    Beautiful beach with relatively hard beach sand. It was very comfortable to walk on the beach while enjoying the fresh breeze at night. Occasionally smelled the smell of boat smoke during the day with a human -powered jetski at high speed. Various activities can be seen during the day and night. For a quiet and comfortable stay, it is advisable to get a room that is quite far from the main road of Pantai Cenang which is always alive until midnight to avoid noise pollution that can disturb a good sleep😁.

    Beautiful beach! Well maintained and clean. It has plentiful of facilities and shops available. Parking is easily available as well. If you stay near the beach, it's the best choice you won't regret! Perfect view for sunset and beach activities

    The beach is located on a boulevard that comes alive in the evening. There is also a lot to do on the beach. You can watch gentlemen playing with fire and watch the sunset. Don't assume there are standard sunbeds or areas with shade. There are a small number of sunbeds that you can rent for 30 ringgit.

    Nice place but quite crowded. A lot of fun and shows here. Definitely you won't regret coming here.. It's a good place to hang out with your friends as well. Also, there are a lot of stalls around this road where you can buy your souvenir. If you drive by your car, ensure a park your car at a designated public car park. You will get a summon if you park behind the road.

    Beautiful beach. Because I came in the afternoon, there were not many tourists. There are many restaurants and bars nearby. If you are tired, you can go in and take a rest, order a drink and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beach. If you get bored, you can go out to the beach and go shopping. There are many duty-free shops.

    This is the most popular beach in Langkawi and is known for its long stretch of white sand and clear blue waters. It’s great for swimming and water sports, and there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. It's busy though... The beaches in the North are more pretty.

    Honestly, I have never seen a more beautiful beach, a more beautiful sunset than the one here. One of my friends who said he won't be impressed by any beach because lives next to a beach was mesmerized after seeing this one. So one this is assured, it is one of the best beaches you'll see anywhere. Plenty of food shacks, water sports, it's all there so place to have fun!

    Visited in the evening. It was beautiful. Not many tourists though. Watched the sun set and the changing sky. The beach is clean and very lively. You can spend as much time as you want relaxing. There are water sports activities also.

    I visited in the evening when the sun was down 90% and the view was breathtaking. It's a lively beach with so much to offer to its visitors. It's a must visit beach no matter what corner of Langkawi you're staying in. I just hope they make more public restrooms for the visitors. The closest restroom was paid one and wasn't very clean.

    Beautiful place with many memories I have made but one thing is the dogs at night are out in packs! If you are alone they will try to intimidate and attack you. Happened to me in my last night and I have no idea why. Luckily the people of langkawi are so kind they let me in their home. The dogs waited outside for me for over an hour till a biker chased them off. I really hope the government do something about the wild stray dogs on the island

    This is the Langkawi equivalent of Patong or Kuta Beach, yet far more stripped-down lol, making it a lot more family-friendly in the process - with go-go bars (and scantily-clad hostesses) replaced by the “standard” beer-drinking spots and lots of duty-free shops (including familiar Langkawi names like Zon, Warisan, Coco Valley, Teow Soon Huat, Choco Planet, and Eastern) along with the usual souvenir shops selling local handicrafts, LGK t-shirts, and batik attire. Since it was December, we saw many Caucasian tourists during our stay in the island, as I won’t be surprised many of them prefer to head to hot and humid SE-Asia to escape the freezing cold in their home countries up north. While there were also many locals and Asians thronging the place, lending a very happening atmosphere in the process. And LADA has certainly done a good job with keeping the walkways as pedestrian-friendly as before, during the quiet days of the MCO lockdown… The tiles were all in good shape and made it so much more fun to walk around Cenang Beach when compared with its famous beachside chum in Penang!

    One of the best beach spot to hangout in Langkawi! Pantai Cenang offer lots of activities such as water sports, eatery, pub and so on. Dont’t forget the watch the sunrise by the beach. As this beach is open to public, so it is relatively crowded and has some amount of littering.

  • 3/5 gbzberlin 1 year ago on Google
    Pantai Chenang is a highly touristic 2,5km long beach with fine white sand. It is crowded and offers the typical tourist attractions. The water is not clean, it is milky and a little smelly. It is far off the best you can find and probably not what you expect from pictures. Chenang and the Pantai Chenang are actually poor choices if you search a paradise like place..it is more hell like.

  • 5/5 Manuvidya J. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best beaches in langkawi! Lot of hotels nearby! Lot of shops! The beach is very clean 😍🌊 sunset and sunrise is the best time to be here! The waves are not that rough for a good swim.

    Beach is nice waters a bit cloudy lots of places on the beach selling food and drinks gets crowded on the beach sometimes especially during weekends and holidays better to visit on a week day

  • 5/5 Deepa N. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly the beach is dirty but from the resort we stayed at had a private walkway to the beach and that was pretty clean. Nevertheless still dirty water at some areas. Got water activities such as banana boat at all but make sure you have alot of people going (cheaper price). Lots of starfish and great sunset view.

    Walking distance to Underwater World Langkawi, The Cliff restaurant, mini markets, shops and hotels. Do check out the fire show by 'Anak Hantu' at 8pm. If you wish to sit on the bean bag, you have to purchase their drinks. However, if you choose to stand outside the line, it's optional to give a donation. Many locals will be promoting their para sailing, island hopping, jetski and candle light dinner packages.

    Enjoyed many sunsets here with the fire shows. Can bring your own food & drinks, or stop at a bar to enjoy some. The nightly fire shows are quite cool, and the sunset is fiery and amazing as well.

    A very busy beach scene, with lots of beach goers and business operators. You have plenty of shops on the street as well as those facing the beach selling food, souvenirs, beach items and manu more. Worth making the trip here. They also have water sport activities during the day and fire show at

  • 5/5 xyberlj 3 years ago on Google
    A good place to stroll and chill. be it alone, with loved one or friends

  • 5/5 Joyce N. 10 months ago on Google
    Everyone should come to the beach here to enjoy the sea breezes, beautiful views and enthusiasm of the locals. It's so relaxing even if you were doing nothing, just sitting at the beachside and looking at the scenery. Here provided some water activities including banana boat, parasailing, jet ski and other. I have a little bit of regret that I didn't try these due to thalassophobia, but every friend who tried is all giving out a good response.

  • 3/5 loris f. 9 months ago on Google
    The beach is nice. But there are too many cars bringing jetsky every morning to the beach and take them away in the evening while the beach is full of people. The sand is over compact . Not soft. The city council/tourist board need to find a solution, a place to store the jetsky and not have all the jeeps going up and down the beach.

    Among a few beautiful beaches in Langkawi, Pantai Cenang is the longest and more to public beach than others, located in the centre of busiest town in Langkawi. Here, Cenang beach got a lot of activities took place in the evening and it is so chill sitting, watching beautiful sunset. I love how they lit-up all the candles and decorating the beach for people to pay for partying and do bbq individually. Also, most of seafoods restaurants open in the evening. Cenang beach is more lively in the evening until midnight.....frankly speaking, I prefer night beachshore is better than morning or afternoon because I don't want to get burn and tan too much.

    Near to cenang walk where you can find a lot of souvenirs store. I recommend Paradise Craft/Napel store to find good quality gifts. Also, near to food truck place where u can eat peacefully if u hate the hassle to eat at the beach. Went there for the fire performance at Anak Hantu Bar. Splendid performance and great contact with audience. The beach is clean but crowded during weekends. Overall, i love it here.
