Ri Pa Beach, Koh Adang West
6° 32.5′ N · 99° 16.9′ E
One of the secluded west-coast beaches of Koh Adang that Wikivoyage rates as the island's best, backed by jungle and facing Koh Yang and Koh Rawi.
Practical
Position: OpenStreetMap 'Ri Pa Beach'; the bay offshore is mapped as Ao Ta Lo Ri Pa. It sits on the stretch of coast covered by the Koh Adang West Moorings, so pick up a park mooring outside the reef (Southeast Asia Pilot: more than 15 moorings in over 12 m) and dinghy in. Beware the strong current when swimming from the boat (Moorings guide). No facilities. Park fee and the Adang–Rawi seasonal closure apply (see those entries).
