About

Constructed in 1996 by Hyundai Construction, the Wave Breaker is a pivotal structure that protects Langkawi International Airport from the strong waves of the Hindi Sea. Situated near Kuah town, this location is renowned for surfing, particularly from November to April, when east winds create favorable conditions. Although it's a local hidden gem, it remains lesser-known among tourists. The Wave Breaker, while offering spectacular views of the sea and airport, is a testament to the balance between human engineering and natural preservation in Langkawi. However, visitors should exercise caution as the structure can be hazardous. It is not accessible by vehicle to the end, and there are holes on the bridge that require careful navigation. Safety precautions must be taken seriously to ensure a secure visit to this unique attraction.
