Bamboo Bay (Ao Mai Phai)
อ่าวไม้ไผ่
A small bay beside the national park at the southern tip of Lanta, with few visitors, white sand, and jungle all around. One of the island's most natural beaches.
Bamboo Bay lies at the southern tip of Lanta, just north of the national park headquarters. It is a small bay encircled by jungle-covered hillsides, with only a handful of wooden bungalow resorts and no large hotels. The water is clear, the sand is brilliant white, and visitors are scarce, making it ideal for swimming and simply relaxing. It can be combined with a visit to the national park's lighthouse point on the same day. It's about 35 minutes by motorbike from Long Beach, and the final stretch is quite steep.
