Tanjung Rhu, Cape and beach at the northeastern tip of Langkawi, Malaysia
Tanjung Rhu extends into the Andaman Sea with white sand beaches bordered by tall casuarina trees and limestone formations reaching toward the water.
The cape has served as a crucial maritime navigation point since the 15th century, guiding ships through the Malacca Strait between Malaysia and Thailand.
The name originates from the Malay words 'Tanjung' meaning cape and 'Rhu' referring to the casuarina trees that line the northern coast.
Visitors can access both the public beach section and boat tours to Kilim Geopark from the small jetty located behind the beach stalls.
During low tide, people can walk across the shallow waters to reach Pulau Chabang island and explore its surrounding limestone formations.
