| The Payar Marine Park |
| Consisting of the main island of Pulau Payar, and the smaller islands of Pulau Kaca, Pulau Lembu and Pulau Segantang, Payar Marine Park is a fisheries protected area. It shows diverse marine life including 36 genera of hard corals, 92 other marine invertebrates and 45 genera of fish. When the sea is calm and the visibility is good the 'Coral Garden' is a spectacular sight. |
| Tell me a little about the island of Langkawi |
KUAH
Lining a large sweep of bay in the southeastern corner of
the island, KUAH is easily the largest town on Langkawi,
and has a ferry terminal, hotels and shopping complexes.
Beside the ferry terminal is Dataran Lang (Eagle Square)
and Lagenda Langkawi Dalan Taman, a landscaped
"theme park" of giant sculptures based around the
legends of the islands. Most of the hotels are further
around the bay.

Situated 30km off the coast at the very northwestern tip
of the Peninsula is a cluster of 104 tropical islands, the
largest of which is PULAU LANGKAWI . Pulau Langkawi
has seen unparalleled development in recent years:
some of the country's most luxurious hotels are here,
and there's a new airport, but the mountainous interior,
white sands, limestone outcrops and lush vegetation
have remained relatively unspoiled. The principal town
on Pulau Langkawi is Kuah , a boom town of hotels and
shops in the southeast of the island. The main tourist
development has taken place around two bays on the
western side of the island, at Pantai Tengah and Pantai
Cenang . Of these, Cenang is by far the most
commercialized. The best beach on the island is at
Pantai Kok in the west.

PANTAI KOK
Pantai Kok lies on the far western stretch of Langkawi
and is the best beach on the island, a large sweep of
powdery white sand with relatively clear and shallow
water - quieter and more secluded than Cenang and
more intimate in feel.
The road after the turn-off to the Berjaya Resort leads up
to the island's most wonderful natural attraction, Telaga
Tujuh or "Seven Pools", where the mossy rocks enable
you to slide from one pool to another, before the
fast-flowing water disappears over the cliff to form the
ninety-metre waterfall. It's a steep 200-metre climb to the
pools from the base of the hill - in total, it's about a
45-minute walk from the road near the Burau Bay Resort.

PANTAI CENANH
Five hundred metres north of Tengah, the development
at PANTAI CENANG is the most extensive on the island.
The bay forms a large sweep of wide, white beach with
crisp, sugary sand. Plenty of places offer watersports and
boat rental. The main attraction on Pantai Cenang is the
huge Underwater World where the highlight is a
walk-through aquarium.

Langkawi Island - Sailing
Langkawi is fast gaining recognition as a world-class
sailing destination. The island's waters are ideal for
sailing as distances between islands are short, waters
are warm, winds are favourable and there are many quiet
sandy bays for mooring, swimming and picnicking.
The island also offers sailing in sheltered inlets as well as
on open seas. Because of favourable winds, sailing is
best from November to April. Marina facilities too, are
second to none.
Telaga Harbour Park Langkawi at Kok Beach is a 32-acre
Mediterranean-themed harbour town - the first of its kind
in the region.
Stroll along the boardwalk or sip an espresso at Alfresco
cafés whilst marvelling at the plush mega-yachts and
elegant sailboats docked at the marina. After weeks at
sea, yachters can drop by the post-office and bank, stock
up on groceries and tuck in hearty meals. At night, the
town comes alive with bands playing on the sidewalk,
lively pubs and brightly lit retail shops.
Developed to cater for sailboats and mega-yachts, as
opposed to other marinas in this region, the park has
good depth and draft, good astern mooring for yachts
50m long and excellent quality floating docks. Also, the
harbour is sheltered from erratic winds and tide
conditions.
Other notable marinas include the Royal Langkawi Yacht
Club at Kuah, the Awana Porto Malai Langkawi at
Tengah Beach, and the Rebak Marina Resort on Rebak
Besar Island. All have first-class accommodation with
excellent dining, entertainment and shopping.
Held annually in mid-March, the Royal Langkawi
International Regatta is a spectacular race organised by
the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club. Some 60 yachts with 400
participants were attracted to the inaugural regatta in
2003. Enjoy the fun carnival spirit with dinners, concerts
and games as part of the festivities.
Sunsail, the world's largest yacht charter company, and
other prestigious boat charters also have bases on the
island. They offer sail and cruise options such as sunset
dinner cruises, round island tours, honeymoon
escapades, and many more.
