Koh Lipe: Beaches & areas

Translated as ‘Paper Island’, Koh Lipe has picture perfect white sandy beaches. Relax in a beach side bar, snorkel right off the beach, hike through the jungle or take a boat-trip out to stunning deserted islands in the Tarutao National Marine Park. Several top dive sites are close by for the more adventurous underwater explorers.

Pattaya Beach

White sand, clear water, good snorkelling and vibrant nightlife, Koh Lipe’s largest beach is busy and exciting.

Sunset Beach - Hat Pramong

This west-facing beach is small, sandy and overlooks a number of islands in the archipelago. As the name suggests, sunsets are fantastic from this beach. Enjoy an ice-cold beer and absorb the laid-back surroundings.

Sunrise Beach - Hat Chao Ley

Stretching the island’s entire east coast, Sunrise Beach is perfect for long walks. Offering the best snorkelling on Lipe, at high tide you can snorkel around Koh Kra and Koh Usen, two tiny islands located right off the beach. Teeming with marine life and protected from monsoons, Sunrise Beach is quiet and sophisticated.

Walking Street Area

The centre of Koh Lipe's eating, drinking, shopping and nightlife, Walking Street comes alive when the road closes to motorbikes at sunset. Listen to live music, buy a locally made souvenir, get a tattoo, enjoy a massage or dine in an upscale restaurant.
