We have been swimming in the coastal areas of Tanjung Rhu, Langkawi several times in a year as the water there is clean and clear. Langkawi Island can be very hot and humid in the summer, so swimming can be a great weekend gathering for friends and family.
By the way, Tanjung Rhu beach was quite a small beach and the water got deep a few feet out and also shallow enough by the shore for the kids to play.Erika was seen busy filling her bucket with sand so she could build her own sand castle. Probably she was inspired after too much watching Laputa : Castle In The Sky ( 天空の城ラピュタ ) movie from Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki !
