We are also in your age group. We enjoyed walking Cenang beach as it was mostly empty. We don't know the other beach you mention.

Yes it will be great for you guys. Try to go 2 hours before sunset, to avoid too much heat and sweating and then walk as much as you want. There are many food options, plus a mall near by and many small outlets. So plenty of stuff to look for.

Hi Christine,

Pantai Kok is a secluded serene beach area unlike Pantai Cenang or Pantai Tengah beaches. There are no hotels or resorts on this public beach (other than two luxury resorts tucked in a corner), neither any eateries to spoil the natural beauty, thus making it very quiet.

Whereas Pantai Tengah which is actually an extension of Pantai Cenang, starts at the southern end of Pantai Cenang near the Underwater World, and goes for a long stretch towards south.

 

While the beach is similar in appearance to Pantai Cenang, but it is far quieter and tranquil, and unaffected by the rush of tourists. There are several chalets and hotels along the beach, Spas, restaurants as well as many shops selling clothing, accessories, souvenir and gift items along the road (Jalan Pantai Tengah) that runs parallel to the beach. There are also beach bars located right on the beach itself.

So Pantai Cenang is where the action is because it is the HUB of Langkawi. As you walk along the road, you will see numerous shops of all kinds, tour agencies that offer packages and restaurants lined up on both sides. The road comes alive after dark when tourists and residents all flock to this place for shopping, eating and drinking. There is also a duty free shopping center here called Zon at the southern end of Pantai Cenang. The nightlife continues until late hours in Pantai Cenang area. Other than many restaurants and bars on the road, there are several beach bars on the Pantai Cenang beach itself, some of them compliment the experience with music and even jam sessions that carries on till the wee hours. Several on-beach restaurants offer candle lit dinner with drinks right next to the waters. Surprisingly, many of them are inexpensive.

So Christine, you have the answer now. Enjoy Langkawi!!!
