Pantai Merdeka

For those who are short on time or not being able to visit Langkawi, the Pantai Merdeka Kedah which is approximately 60 km from the south of Alor Setar is the perfect alternative. This one kilometer long sandy beach shaded by tall swaying palm trees is the perfect destination for one to relax and laze away or for one to enjoy the exciting water sports such as sailing. For people who enjoy camping out on the coral island, the one kilometer long and half kilometer wide Bidan Island located nearby to the Pantai Merdeka Kedah is the perfect answer. For travelers who wish to stay overnight, there is a small 46 room Pantai Merdeka Resort located there.
