Kuah Town
Kuah
Langkawi's capital and ferry terminal, home to duty-free malls, seafood restaurants and the local night market.
Kuah is Langkawi's administrative centre. Its ferry terminal, Eagle Square and Legend Park are all along the waterfront. The town has duty-free malls such as Jetty Point, Langkawi Parade and the Haji Ismail Group, where chocolate, tobacco, liquor and kitchenware are cheaper than inland. The main street has many restaurants serving live seafood and Chinese-style food. A night market takes place on Wednesday and Saturday evenings, offering Malay snacks. When leaving the country, keep an eye on duty-free limits for alcohol and cigarettes. A taxi from Cenang takes about 25 minutes.
