Is it true that there is a beach right next to the runway on Langkawi?

Yes, it's true! On Langkawi, there is a unique beach called Pantai Serama, which is located right next to the airport runway. Planes land and take off literally just a few hundred meters above the heads of vacationers.

This place is a real local gem for aviation enthusiasts and those seeking unusual shots. Here's what awaits you there:

• Spectacular views of airplanes. You can watch aircraft up close, which is especially impressive during sunset.
• Simple and cozy atmosphere. There is one inexpensive cafe with plastic chairs on the beach, where locals come in the evening to enjoy the sunset. Prices here are low, without tourist markups.
• Calm sea. Due to the protective dam shielding the bay, there are almost never any waves here; the water is always calm.

Important nuances:

• Not ideal for swimming. The water is often murky, the bottom is sometimes muddy, and there are small stones. During strong low tide, the water recedes far away.
• No infrastructure. This is not a resort area. There are no sun loungers, umbrellas, or showers. There is nowhere to stay here for the entire vacation—there are no hotels around.

You can get there by taxi (from 10 ringgit) or by rented car. Parking is free along the road. To learn more about all the hidden and unusual corners of Langkawi, check out our guide: Langkawi Beaches: Where to Stay in 2026? Overview of the Best Areas and Map.
