Pantai Kok

Pantai Kok is a beautiful and isolated stretch of beach in the northeast section of Langkawi Island. Located along the island's western coastline about 25 kilometres from Kuah town, the beach was named after a nearby fishing village.

The long stretch of beach with its tall, waving coconut palms is bordered by jungle and looks west towards the Andaman Sea. It is a perfect getaway and a great place for taking pictures. This beach has a marina which is popularly known as Telaga Harbour as well several recreational attractions including a cable-car ride to the peak of Mat Cincang Mountain and the Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls.

The Pantai Kok area is a relatively undisturbed location and much of the natural scenery is still intact, making this an ideal place to visit for those who love nature or want a quieter holiday destination.
