Eagle Square, Dataran Lang, is a waterfront square beside the Kuah jetty in Langkawi with a 12-metre statue of a reddish-brown eagle poised to take flight. The eagle stands for the island's name, which local tradition derives from 'helang', eagle, and 'kawi', a reddish-brown colour; the square is lit at night.
Cenang Beach, Pantai Cenang, is a long sandy beach on the south-west coast of Langkawi, next to Pantai Tengah and a short drive from Langkawi International Airport. Lined with casuarina trees and palms, it faces the sea and nearby islets, and the road behind it is the island's main strip of hotels, restaurants and shops; parasailing and jet-skis run from the sand.
Underwater World Langkawi is an aquarium on Pantai Cenang on the west coast of Langkawi, run by Eden Inc. Its tanks and enclosures hold freshwater and marine fish, a walk-through tunnel tank and a ray pool, as well as seals, African and rockhopper penguins and otters, with daily feeding sessions.
Kilim Karst Geoforest Park is a protected area of about 100 square kilometres in north-eastern Langkawi, part of the island's UNESCO Global Geopark, where limestone karst towers rise from mangrove-lined rivers and bays. Boat tours from the Kilim jetty wind through the mangroves to geosites such as Kelawar (bat) Cave, Crocodile Cave and Anak Tikus Island.
The Langkawi Cable Car, or SkyCab, is a 2.2-kilometre gondola lift opened in 2003 that climbs from Oriental Village at Teluk Burau on Langkawi's west coast to the top of Gunung Machinchang. The ride takes about 15 minutes, turns at a middle station and ends near the Langkawi Sky Bridge, with views over the Andaman Sea and the islands.
The Seven Wells Waterfall, Telaga Tujuh, is a 90-metre series of cascades on the slopes of Gunung Machinchang above Burau Bay in western Langkawi, fed by springs that fill seven natural rock pools. A path of about 900 steep steps through rainforest leads up to the pools; the wet rocks are slippery, and a local legend tells of fairy princesses bathing here.
