🏖️Beaches

A tranquil white sandy bay at the southern end of the island, backed by forested hills and fronted by clear turquoise water.

A wide-open beach at the northern tip of Koh Lanta Yai. The sand is soft, the water shallow and clear, and the pace is noticeably calmer than the busier beaches further south.

Koh Lanta's most accessible beach: long, sandy, and lined with a mix of resorts, restaurants, and beach bars. The water is calm and the sunsets are good.

Remote beach inside the national park, accessible via a rough track. Soft sand, clear water, and almost no crowds.

A long, relaxed beach with a distinctly local atmosphere, lined with beach bars, massage places, and casual restaurants.

A quieter beach on the west coast of Koh Lanta, calmer and less developed than Klong Dao. Good for swimming, with clean water and a relaxed pace.

A wide, undeveloped beach with white sand, natural shade from trees, and very few visitors. No bars or restaurants on the beach itself.

Long, sandy beach with shade trees, seating for rent, and a lineup of bars, restaurants, and hotels along the shore.

Intimate, laid-back beach for swimming and snorkelling, surrounded by tropical forest.

A small, secluded cove that lives up to its name. The sand is white and the water clear, though there are rocks and coral in the shallows so water shoes help.

A small beach on the west side of Koh Lanta. Worth a quick look if you're exploring the coast.
