Tengah Beach, Langkawi is a beach stretch located in the Langkawi Island, an island renown as a tourist destination and also for its duty-free goods. Basically a continuation of the Cenang Beach after the rocky cliff, it is easily found at the southern road bend of the beach, being really close to resorts, duty free zones, malls, hotels and other attractions the island could offer. Tengah Beach is the longest beach stretch on the island with 700 meters of length, and is much quieter and peaceful compared to Cenang Beach.

Upon reaching the beach, visitors may find a row of palm and coconut trees providing shades on a sunny day lining up around. The waters are beautiful and the sand is pristine, which is ideal for parasailing, jet skiing or even plain old sunbathing, just remember to apply sunscreen lotion beforehand. Besides that, the beach is also a food galore with a multitude of restaurants running parallel to the beach as well as souvenir shops. The rocky cliff is also the highlight of this beach, which separates it from the Cenang Beach, and provides a wonderful view from the top.
