Long Beach (Phra Ae)
หาดพระแอะ
The longest and liveliest golden-sand beach on Lanta's west coast, where coconut groves, beach bars, and sunset parties are concentrated.
Long Beach (Phra Ae) stretches about 4 km, with fine, soft sand and a gentle slope. It is the center of accommodation and dining on Lanta, good for swimming, sunbathing, and watching the sunset in the evening. Along the beach are many budget resorts, beach bars, and nighttime fire-dancing shows, and the inland main road has supermarkets, diving shops, and night markets. It is about 15 minutes by car from Saladan Pier at the north end. In the rainy season (May to October), waves are strong, so watch for red flag warnings before you go in the water.
