Beaches

  • Koh Lipe’s beaches are some of the best in Thailand, with beautiful white sand, clear water and incredible views of Tarutao National Marine Park. The island’s beaches are clean and ideal for sunbathing, swimming and relaxation.
  • Pattaya Beach is Koh Lipe’s busiest beach, serving as an arrival point for visitors to the island and a location for many of the island’s upmarket resorts. Despite its popularity, it’s still a clean and relaxing place to spend the day.
  • Sunrise Beach, located on Koh Lipe’s eastern coast, is the island’s largest beach and a quieter alternative to Pattaya Beach. Sunset Beach, which is on the island’s western coast, has a calm and relaxing atmosphere with a selection of inexpensive resorts.
  • In the north of Koh Lipe, you’ll find Karma Beach — a small, isolated beach that has clear water and a gorgeous white sand spit that extends into the Andaman Sea. Since Koh Lipe is relatively small, it’s possible to walk between the island’s main beaches in 10 to 15 minutes.

Things To Do On Koh Lipe

Snorkelling and diving are two of the biggest attractions on Koh Lipe, although there’s lots to do on the island. From dive sites to scenic viewpoints and walks, learn about the best things to do on Koh Lipe.

Snorkelling

  • Koh Lipe’s calm weather, clear water and beautiful coral means that snorkelling is possible right off the beach. Sunrise Beach offers the best snorkelling on the island, with coral formations near the beach itself and Koh Kra and Koh Usen easily accessible to snorkellers.
  • Sunset and Karma Beach also offer good snorkelling, although shallow water makes it difficult to snorkel during low tide. It’s also possible to snorkel at the ends of Pattaya Beach, although boat traffic makes it important to be aware of your surroundings while exploring the water.
  • Many of the dive shops on Koh Lipe also offer snorkelling day trips to nearby islands, which are great for seeing a wider variety of marine life.

  • There are more than 20 dive sites within easy reach of Koh Lipe, ranging from shallow beginner sites like Stonehenge and Koh Adang to sites like the Yong Hua shipwreck, which are only open to advanced divers.
  • Good dive operators on Koh Lipe include Adang Sea Divers and Castaway Divers on Sunrise Beach and Ko Lipe Diving near Pattaya Beach.
