Langkawi Beautiful Beaches

Besides the historical places at Langkawi, most exciting & attractive about Langkawi are the beautiful beaches around here. Relax, lay back, enjoying the beautiful & serene beach and sunset at Langkawi. There's few beaches that I had visited & recommend to u.. Must go peeps..!! (wah tetiba speaking.. lol)

Pulau Beras Basah

Pristine, attractive, beautiful and peaceful are some of the adjectives people used to describe Pulau Beras Basah. Being one of the most well-known islands located at the west tip of Langkawi, this island will provide you a perfect getaway with its white sandy beach that is embraced by the clear blue sea. The lush green forest that surrounds the island adds a sense of tranquility, enabling you to relax yourself upon stepping on the island. Getting to this island is an easy and interesting excursion. In Langkawi, one of the most famous activities will be a 4-hour “island hopping” tour where you will be brought to three different islands – Pulau Dayang Bunting, Pulau Singa and Pulau Beras Basah by speed boat. Almost every travel agency in Langkawi provides island hopping tour arrangement. What you need to do is to make some phone calls to their agents and they will arrange everything for you. Do not expect to have exciting water sports here. Basically there is nothing much you can do on this island, apart from swimming, sunbathing and simply enjoying the stunning view. Surrounded by lush forest, this island is the best place to unwind and relax in a naturally serene ambiance. This island is not really a well-developed tourism spot with facilities such as beautiful lodges for accommodation. There are only some basic amenities such as washrooms and a small stall that sells soft drinks. However, being not well-developed could be one of the ways to upkeep the pristine and beauty of this island. Bring along your favorite book, get a place on the white sandy beach to lie on and enjoy the wonderful scenic view of the clear blue sea. The thick lush forest makes the island more secluded and private. Life could never be better than enjoying in a gorgeous island like Pulau Beras Basah where you can simply bask yourself with nature (info from MalaysiaVacationGuide.com)

Pantai Pasir Tengkorak

A rather eerie legend shadows Pantai Tengkorak. Some locals believe that a giant whirlpool awaits unwary ships just off the Langkawi islands at the spot where the Straits of Malacca join the Indian Ocean and the Andaman Sea. The whirlpool is said to have swallowed countless number of vessels and deposited the skulls of the crew and passengers at Pantai Tengkorak (Skull Beach). The bone fragments of ancient mariners were found scattered at Tanjung Tulang, while parts of the ships washed up on Pantai Pasir Hitam. Fact or fiction, visiting this mysterious beach is not to be missed.

Pulau Singa Besar

Located at the southwestern tip of Langkawi, Pulau Singa Besar is strategically situated between the well-renowned Pulau Dayang Bunting and Pulau Beras Basah. According to some information from the local tourist centre, the island sprawls 636 hectares and is almost fully covered by thick forest and huge stones. The natural setting as such has made it into a paradise of various wild lives where animals such as monkeys and eagles can be easily spotted around that area. The major attraction of the island will be eagle feeding session. The boat man or tour guide will first switch off the motor of the speedboat and throw pieces of chicken to the middle of the sea. Within seconds, you will get to see hundreds of eagles in brown and some rare ones in white flying above your head. The eagles fly beautifully with their strong wings and they will grab the chicken right after the boatman throws it to the middle of the sea. It is absolutely a perfect place to carefully study eagles as they can fly as near as merely 6 feet away from you. Believe it or not, it will be a place where one would see the most eagles in their entire lives. Though in people’s perception, eagles are unkind wild creatures which tend to attack people but no worries, such perception is not applicable to eagles in Pulau Singa Besar. All you have to do is to get your camera ready and capture some wonderful pictures of those eagles. To your surprise, these eagles seem like underwent some training where you can spot them right after some chickens have been threw to the middle of the sea and see them disappearing right after they have finished the food. According to the boatman, these eagles come out by listening to the sound of speedboats (info from MalaysiaVacationGuide.com)
