Beautiful Pantai Cenang beach, Langkawi Malaysia

We loved the beautiful beaches on modern Langkawi, but not necessarily the rampant development in parts of it. Most of the budget islands are on or around the pretty beach at Pantai Cenang (as well as quieter Pantai Tengah), so bring your sunscreen and enjoy the duty-free beer. It's a beautiful island, with plenty on offer from mangrove tours and eagle feeding as well as diving, island hopping and the chance to take a trip up the Langkawi cable car to admire views over the mountains and beaches.
