Beach· Koh Lipe· Thailand

Pattaya Beach, Koh Lipe

6° 29.1′ N · 99° 18.1′ E

Lipe's main south-facing beach: a long curve of white sand with the ferry pontoon, longtails, beach restaurants and the island's nightlife strung along it.

Practical

Busy by day with ferries and longtails; the floating ferry pontoon and immigration office are at the east end. Fringing reef close in; the Southeast Asia Pilot's dinghy channel is on the east side of the bay. Sanom Beach is a short walk west (Wikivoyage). Anchor off in 20-25 m (see Koh Lipe South Anchorage).

Best for

Sunset drinks, swimming and town access
