Pantai Kok Attrations

In Pantai Kok, there are a pleasant range of activities which friends or families can indulge in. Besides relaxing on the serene beach itself, visitors can head to the Oriental Village and take a cable-car ride up to Mat Cincang Mountain for an amazing view of the whole island. For those who love nature, they can visit the Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls which is a beautiful forest with a multi-tiered waterfall.

Pantai Kok

Pantai Kok is a flat piece of warm white beach that has quite a bit of vegetation creeping on some parts of the grounds. This beach is one of the most relaxed places on the island. While it is not as wide and scenic as Pantai Cenang, Pantai Kok offers a great alternative to those who want to enjoy relaxation on the beach in privacy, while appreciating the rich surroundings of hills and trees.

Telaga Harbour Park

The Telaga Harbour Park is a beautiful marina that is next to Pantai Kok. This marina was built to promote Langkawi as a major sailing and yachting destination. Indeed, the whole marina is beautifully-landscaped and designed to resemble a section of the French Riviera. The harbour is built in a sheltered location, making it a safe place for international yachts to dock and get their supplies and service. The harbour is also a great place to get music and food during the night with many cafes and bistros located along the dock.

Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls

The Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls is located a short distance away from Pantai Kok, and may be accessed by climbing a long series of over 600 steep steps. Despite the long and hard climb, the scenery up in the waterfalls is simply astonishing. Visitors are greeted first by a pleasant stream feeding into seven natural rock pools among a lush green rainforest.

The stream runs for a short stretch, before the water cascades down a 90-meter rock face into a pool below. The part where the water begins to cascade is chained up for safety precautions. However, the view from the top of this waterfall is simply breath-taking as you can see a magnificent valley and lush green landscape all around the island below. On the other hand, you can take a dip in the pools of water if you like.

Cable-Car

The Cable-Car is a must-do when you visit Langkawi, whether or not you choose to stay in Pantai Kok or somewhere else. The Oriental Village, which is a stone’s throw away from Pantai Kok, is where you purchase tickets to ride a cable-car that takes you up to the peak of Mat Cincang Mountain. Sitting in the cable-car as it climbs up hundreds of meters into the air is a highly exhilarating experience, but not one for the faint-hearted.

As you go up, the air becomes cooler and the wind begins to blow past you strongly. The cable-car reaches a first platform where you alight and board another cable car that takes you to the main observatory platform on the peak. Once at the peak, you get a fantastic view of Langkawi Island and Andaman Sea. On another corner a short walk away, is a steel bridge suspended between two mountains which you can cross and experience the rush of the wind blowing between the two rock faces.

Langkawi Crocodile Farm

The Crocodile Farm is located a moderate distance away from Pantai Kok near Datai. In this farm, visitors can see thousands of crocodiles comprising several well-known species on an 8-hectare farm. Watch out for the crocodile shows where professional charmers wrestle with crocodiles and feeding times when the hungry crocodiles are fed. You can also visit the souvenir shop to purchase stuffed baby crocodiles and leather products.
