Tanjung Rhu is a cape and beach at Langkawi's northeastern tip, facing the Andaman Sea. The Kilim River mangroves and limestone outcrops nearby form part of the Kilim Natural Geopark, reached by boat from the beach jetty. Fishing boats moor at the beach jetty daily; most are speedboat-sized and have been converted to carry tourists.

The name combines the Malay words tanjung, meaning cape, and rhu, the casuarina trees that line the shore. Fishermen's boats, mostly speedboat-sized and many converted to carry tourists, moor daily at the small beach jetty. Floating restaurants nearby serve fresh fish raised in cages, and fishing trips are offered.

The beach is accessible through a small jetty with boat services for tours to nearby Kilim Geopark. Water and tide conditions change noticeably throughout the day, so timing matters for your visit.

During low tide, shallow waters allow visitors to walk to nearby Pulau Chabang island and explore its own limestone rock formations. This temporary route offers an unexpected way to discover hidden island features that most visitors miss.
