Best Selfie & Photo Spots in Langkawi

The most Instagrammable spot in Langkawi is the SkyBridge — a curved suspension bridge 660 metres above the jungle canopy with views to the sea, reached by the steep SkyCab cable car. The runner-up is Tanjung Rhu beach, especially when a low-tide sandbar emerges. Visit the SkyBridge on the first morning cable car for clear views.
