Pattaya Beach, Koh Lipe
หาดพัทยา
The longest crescent-shaped white-sand beach on the south shore of Koh Lipe, home to the speedboat floating pier and lined with restaurants, bars, and dive shops.
Pattaya Beach is the gateway to Koh Lipe. In high season, speedboats unload passengers at a floating pier offshore, and then passengers transfer to longtail boats to reach the beach. The roughly 1.5 km stretch of fine white sand is lined with resorts, seafood restaurants, and dive centers. The shallow water is good for swimming. In the evening, barbecue stalls and bean bag chairs appear on the sand, and fire-dancing shows are common. From the western end of the beach, you can hire a longtail boat for a snorkeling trip. Note: Boat traffic is heavy, so keep your swimming within the buoys. Visitors must pay a national park fee at the pier to enter the island, about 200 baht (subject to change; check on site).
