legends...
by call_me_rhia
Langkawi is an island full of legends - fantastic and mysterious tales that, however fascinating, are just words, not sights. Most places connected with these legends have been turned to tourists sights thanks to urban development and infrastructure: the result is that those places have ended up being real tourists traps, with very little or nothing to see, but with a surrounding of cheap and tacky tourist shops. Langkawi is the main island of the 99 (I think) larger and smaller islands that form the Langkawi archipelago. It is heaven for people enjoying a relaxing sun-soaked holiday. The quality of the water is really not very good, but the beaches are heavenly and in general it's very low-key and relaxing. The landscape is beautifully green (there's a fab rainforest there) and I enjoyed my stay very much. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to relax their batteries, but for swimming/snorkeling I can think of hundreds of much better places.
Rocky coast
by goglobe
These rocky terrains are places where birds' nests are found, and further up, eagles' nests too. Onward, there are a rich expanse of mangroves and tropical forests, should be fun to explore, if I had time.

Find a better beach
by ahcoln
There are quite many beach in the Island. Pantai Cenang is the most popular beach among the rest, but also most crowded. If you like water sport, you should able to find it here. But if you are looking for some quiet beaches, i will recomend you Pantai Kok (we stayed near to Pantai Kok) & Pantai Rhu. There are less happening on these beaches, but you can enjoy better with the beach that appears like your private property.
