Entrance fee: Free!
Sight rating: 2.5 stars


haiz we had tot this beach would be as nice as tanjong beach.. but sadly it isnt.. prob is more commercialised coz it;s whr all e water sports are played.. so it's more crowded.. feels somewhat lk east coast beach leh... din even take pics of it we asked wahab to bring us back to tanjong beach.. but i did have a shou huo from here! hurhur bought a pair of cooL shadeS! hehe gift frm da! wheee~~~~


3rd stop: Tanjong Rhu beach

4th stop: Shrimpz

Yummy rating: 5 stars


after eating cup noodles for 2 meals e day b4.. we finally had a seafood dinner! recommended by wahab, we went to this open space restaurant call Shrimpz.. we haf our dinner in a small hut aka cabana.. & their seafood comes fresh from this rear pond!




took this pic from our cabana.. looks artistic leh...


our food: tomyum seafood soup, black pepper prawns, chilli chicken, kangkong, icelemon tea

their food tastes v fresh and healthy.. even their icelemon tea is real tea plus pieces of lemon.. not those syrup kind.. their prawns are organic prawns so doesnt have e 'xing wei'.. thou they are smaller in size haha.. kangkong is crunchy.. everythin tastes great! oh but beware of mozzies.. bring repellant!



finished our dinner, wahab brought us back to kuah town.. and we thank him for being such a great guide for past 2 days.. they are really v friendly pple n we pay him for e day's cab he dun even check whether correct amt anot loh.. this is call trust between people.. hurhur..

yup dropped at e town we went to get drinks! coz wahab told us beer in langkawi is super cheap coz of tax free.. n guess wad? this is e shocking price....

Day 2

we started our day real early at 7am!! haha.. had international buffet breakfast at their restaurant 'Flamingo'.. nt a great spread or variety of food but sufficient la.. got hashbrown, beehoon soup, fruit punch, coco crunch, toast, egg...... main course was nasi lemak if i rem correctly haha..

ate bao le we went up to see the swimming pool on the 4th floor.. surprising no one swimming leh haha.. but the seaview was pretty good..




went to the hotel's business centre intending to book a round island package but no more vacancies le.. but the recep told us we could book a cab for 4hrs at 100RM and he will bring us ard.. sounds gd! so we booked a cab at 1pm.. slpy us went up our rm to continue zzZZZZzzz hurhur..

had an recharging nap.. we then started our island tour!!

our driver, Wahab, was excellent!! (a pity i din take a pic of him.. but we got his no. haha.. hu wans to go can ask us for his no.!) other then juz fetching us ard.. he was a great guide too! guess most of the cabbies are so tourist oriented ba.. he arranged our itinery so that we could catch a crocodile show at 2.45.. so he first introduced us to tanjong rhu beach (a private beach for tanjong rhu resort stayers).. e view was simply fantastic!!
