Tanjung Rhu, Langkawi

Tanjung Rhu, Langkawi (6 June, 2005)


Tanjung Rhu (GPS: 6.45373, 99.82323), on the northeastern part of Langkawi, has some of the best beaches on the island. The name Tanjung Rhu means Cape of Casuarina, and refers to the casuarina palms along the beach as well as along the road leading to Tanjung Rhu. Tanjung Rhu is sheltered from strong current by the curve of the bay as well as Tanjung Ayer overlooking it.

Several five-star resorts are located at Tanjung Rhu, among them the Four Seasons Resort Langkawi and the Tanjung Rhu Resort. One of the most distinctive landmarks at Tanjung Rhu is the twin-shaped rocky outcrop next to Pulau Kelam Baya. Other islands off Tanjung Rhu include Pulau Pasir, Pulau Gasing and Pulau Dangli. Further in the horizon is the Tarutao archipelago of South Thailand.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
