Long Beach

Long Beach, also known as Phra Ae Beach, is a popular destination located in Koh Lanta. It is renowned for its extensive coastline, stretching approximately 5 kilometers in length, and its wide expanse from land to shore. The beach is characterized by its stunning white sand and calm waters, making it an ideal spot for swimming and other water activities. Despite its popularity, Long Beach is rarely crowded, even during the high season. This is largely due to its size, which allows visitors to spread out and enjoy their own space. The beach is also less commercialized compared to other beaches in the region, such as Sairee Beach in Koh Tao or Chaweng Beach in Koh Samui. Along the beach, visitors will find a variety of bars and restaurants, contributing to the overall relaxed and chilled-out atmosphere. After sundown, fire shows are a common sight, moving from bar to bar and adding to the beach's vibrant nightlife. One of the most notable features of Long Beach is its sunsets. The beach is perfectly positioned for sunset viewing, making it a favorite spot for those looking to unwind and reflect at the end of the day. However, visitors should be aware of the presence of jellyfish near the shore throughout the day. In terms of amenities, there are no showers available on the beach. However, there are numerous resorts nearby that visitors can utilize. As part of the local community's efforts to keep the beach clean, visitors are encouraged to pick up any litter they find and dispose of it at the resorts.
