Food Scene
Shin Mi Seafood Village
Good seafood at reasonable price.
I have known the owner of Cactus since we both first came to Langkawi in the 1990's. Top man ! Extensive menu. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Something here for everybody.

A nice bistro for a light and not so light meal. Opens for lunch right up to late dinner. There's a little souvenir shop next to it and Five Elements, which is a good place to go for a massage.

Always busy, good food. However, you may find the prices in Shin Mi slightly lower for the same quality of food. Still, we like to pop in once in a while.

This is the nearest hotel resort to us and they have direct beach access. Walk out of the building, turn left. The nearest place for a bevy and to feel the sand under your feet without taking the car.

The crowd may make a beeline for Pantai Cenang but the best beach on the island is here. Drive around and park up at the public beach next to this resort.

If Pantai Cenang gets a bit too busy for your liking, the stretch of beach along here is quieter. Park up at its beach bar for a chillout afternoon and just across the road from Cactus for a good meal

Drinks & Nightlife
Ok, so I'm not part of the party crowd. But it's no secret that the local islanders head here during nightfall for their clubbing. Busier after 12 mid nite. Price of drinks on the high side though.
