Kuala Kedah is a charming coastal town at the mouth of the Kedah River, known for its historic fort, Kota Kuala Kedah, which dates back to the 17th century and played a key role in regional trade and defense. Visitors can explore the fort's ramparts and cannons, then stroll along the waterfront where fishing boats bob in the harbor. The town is also the primary departure point for ferries to Langkawi, making it a convenient stop for travelers. The blend of history and maritime activity gives Kuala Kedah a distinct, laid-back atmosphere.
