Pantai Tengah

Tengah Beach is one of those spots in Langkawi that feels peaceful the moment you step onto the sand. It’s way quieter than Cenang, and that’s honestly the best part. You get the same gorgeous sea, soft waves, and beautiful sunsets, but without the big crowds and loud music. It’s the kind of place where you can actually hear the ocean and enjoy the moment. The beach is long and clean, perfect for walking barefoot, chilling on a mat, or just sitting by the water doing nothing. The vibe here is super relaxed—more calm, more nature, less chaos. If you’re looking to escape the busy tourist scene, this beach is a gem. The water is usually calm and clear, great for a swim or just dipping your feet in. There are a few nice cafés and resorts nearby, but not so many that it feels commercial. You can easily grab a drink, watch the waves, and enjoy the quiet. Even during peak hours, Tengah Beach still feels spacious and comfortable. Overall, it’s the kind of beach you go to when you want to unwind and actually breathe. Beautiful views, peaceful atmosphere, and the perfect place to enjoy Langkawi at a slower, calmer pace.

It’s unfortunate that Malaysian authorities permit high-altitude aircraft to release aluminum oxide into the skies under the guise of solar radiation management and geoengineering. These substances create artificial cloud cover in the upper atmosphere, carried by the winds and eventually descending with the rain. During those dark, heavy downpours, it’s no surprise that many people experience health issues tied to this practice.

i think it's only good if you want to do water sports. it's not that beautiful, and it's that crowded. literally thousand people roaming around here and you start wondering where was the plague 😬

This is an average beach with nice view especially at the Sunrise and Sunset. It was quite dirty during the entire week when I was here. Part of the beach is fortified with textile and sand, which probably protects the nearest buildings against the strong waves but it looks terrible 😔. There are rocks in the water -- I hurt my leg, so be careful.

I don’t know if it’s the right beach, we stayed at Attitude Resort. The beach is beautiful, buuuuuuut… it’s kinda dirty, not Cenang dirty, but still. There are several large hotels but they won’t cooperate to place nets to deter jellyfish. THE ARE A LOT OF JELLYFISH HERE, BE AWARE! We got stung almost every day and once I had a really painful stung from a big jellyfish. There are also lots of wild dogs, again, why all those hotels won’t cooperate and shot them down??? Also those weird huge bags that obstruct the view. And also new hotel construction nearby. Beautiful sunsets.

Pantai Tengah beach is a beautiful stretch of white sand beach on the Western coastline of Langkawi island. The beach has nice sunset views. Water sports activities like parasailing, jet ski, banana boat are available. It can get quite hot on the beach so do apply adequate sunscreen lotion.

Tengah Beach is in crisis. Just four or five years ago, it was a pristine paradise with crystal-clear waters. Today, it’s almost unrecognizable. On my recent visit, I was shocked to find the beach littered with plastic waste, broken glass, wooden crates, and construction debris. The damage appears to be the result of a newly completed large hotel and ongoing construction nearby. Waste from these sites is being funneled through a stream directly into the sea, turning the once-clear water murky and foul-smelling—like raw sewage. This is environmental negligence, plain and simple. How have the authorities allowed this to happen? Where is the oversight? If action isn’t taken immediately, Tengah Beach will be lost for good. It’s devastating, and sadly, I won’t be returning to Langkawi soon.

Seems like a somewhat private access beach for the resorts however you can still enter. Must quieter than the busy Cenang beach and clearer water. Only a few mins detour.
