Datai Golf Club
A spectacular golf club on the edge of the rainforest with tall tropical trees

around the course. Located north of Langkawi facing the Andaman Sea, this international 18-hole, 72-par golf course was designed so that golfers could

enjoy being close to nature, providing a challenging and relaxing course.
 

Set between the lofty Gunung Matcincang and the Andaman Sea, the course ranges from undulating and flat to extremely hilly. Fairways wind

through age-old forests of lush greenery and offer fantastic water views.
 

The trees which have been there since time immemorial, give Datai Bay its
look of maturity, unlike most new course which have saplings and newly transplanted trees. The setting keeps one spellbound throughout the round,

with each hole assuming different characteristics
If there are balls lost or there are too many strokes on the card, the scenery
more than compensates, and makes the trip to Datai Bay worthwhile.
It is the perfect place to get away from it all, and to tame those wayward shots, while soaking in nature's beauty

Facilities: Clubhouse, Pro shop, restaurant, locker rooms and buggies.
Tee off - 7.30am - 4.30pm.

Location – Close to Datai / Visit Rating - For Golfers

 

 

Pantai Tengkorak (Beach of Skulls)
Tucked away from the usual mainland holidaymakers is this lovely, secluded

little beach. A favorite picnic spot for locals, it is flanked by two

headlands on either side, the sand is powder soft and the waves roll lazily in.

Shady trees with peeling red bark cast shadows on the sand and rolling surf

A rather eerie legend shadows Pantai Tengkorak where it is said that a
sea demon is said to have swallowed countless number of vessels and deposited the skulls of the crew and passengers at Pantai Tengkorak

(Skull Beach).

Fact or fiction, visiting this mysterious beach is not to be missed.

Location : Jalan Datai, Pantai just next to the Ibrahim Hussen gallery

Pantai Pasir Hitam (Black Sand Seach)

An unusual phenomenon, Pasir Pantai Hitam means 'black sand beach', so called because of its unique beach with glittering black sand,

which is thought to be tin or an oxide of tin

that may have come from the seabed or the earth's crust. During the wet season, the sands here are more black than white.

The mystery about the black sand is still unknown. An ancient fishing jetty

lends it a sense of history, making a very picturesque scene that's popular

among locals. The beach itself is small, located at the foot of a five-metre drop

and only a few metres wide. Souvenir shops and fishing spots can be

\found along its unusual shoreline

 

Location - To the west of Pantai Tanjung Rhu and

about about 19 km North from Kuah town
