On the southern-most tip of Langkawi, somewhat to the middle of the island, lies Pantai Tengah, which means 'Middle Beach' in English. The 1km long beach links with Pantai Chenang somewhere just after the Lighthouse Restaurant, making it the longest stretch of beach in Langkawi. The scenic coastline has mostly been taken up by resorts and chalets. Sea activities such as boating is popular as the area is near to some of the most beautiful islands, namely Pulau Singa Besar, Pulau Beras Basah, Pulau Rebak Kecil and others.

Great fishing can be had near Pulau Rebak Kecil, which lies right opposite Pantai Tengah Beach. Fishing enthusiasts claim that the rocky outcrop next to the island is a haven for garoupa. It takes only a 10-minutes boat ride to find yourself on the deserted beach of Pantai Tepor.

The sea at Pantai Tengah can be rough at times due to its location within a bay. However, during the evenings it is great to have dinner at one of the many resorts that dot the coast and listening to the muted sound of waves crashing on to the beach in the background.

Although contiguous with Pantai Chenang, Pantai Tengah is almost self-sufficient when it comes to amenities for vacationers. There is a good selection of restaurants from the Pantai Chenang junction right up to the hill that separates the place from Tanjung Malai. Just take a stroll up the road and you will find places serving delicious roti nan, chicken or fish tandoori, roti chanai, briyani, chicken rice and a whole lot of other dishes.
