Langkawi Island Gastronomy — Pantai Cenang Beach Seafood and Local Nacida River
Since Langkawi is a duty-free island, alcohol at resort restaurants is cheaper than on the mainland. For seafood, the focus is on the old, tank-style eateries in Pantai Cenang; be sure to check prices for tiger prawns and mud crabs before ordering, as they are priced by weight. The standard itinerary includes a local breakfast at a stall on the Nada River along the country road, and finishing the day with a sunset at a restaurant atop a cliff.
