    Incredible!! Bright indigo ocean as far as the eye can see!
    This is the nicest beach I've seen in Thailand! Not very crowded, and there are plenty restaurants and shops to get a cold drink at so you dont necessarily have to stay put if you dont want too. The water is perfectly temperate for those 35+°C days. There is a restaurant called LYMs on the beach at the long beach chalet resort, the food is great and prices there are very reasonable, I would recommend that to anybody who finds them selves in the long beach area. I'll be coming back here garunteed!

    Cannabis Bar & The Perfect Beach
    My friend and I visited long beach for dinner, it was quiet...there were lights everywhere and the sound of water was so peaceful. We went off season, it was quiet but we loved it...places were open and the locals were just enjoying themselves. The food was good, there is a line of restaurants that has a beach side view. Make sure nothing but your hair flies here, the breeze is relaxing though. I am not gonna lie, it is creepy getting here. Don't turn back, finish at a reasonable time. It is deemed safe and make sure you finish up and head over to cannabis bar after! That place is surrounded my other tourists and backpackers, they have wifi, amazing prices for drinks. Not to mention, amazing staff too :) The guys here work as brothers, they have a cute treehouse at the top and wellll the name suits the place ;) You can party late here and take a cab safely back. Ladies... do not try to walk far without a man, be safe and get a cab. Overall, Koh Lanta feels like another world but it is beautiful in that corner of the world. Ou if you can, find the guy that makes the wraps and smoothies outside the variety store. He has benches to sit there and omg the wraps are delicious and cheap!

    Sand, sea and sunsets
    Long Beach is glorious! Several kilometres of golden sands perfect for that pre breakfast run breathing in the sea air and working up an appetite for a hearty breakfast. The only rocks are at either end of the beach and, when we were there, there wasn't much of a problem with litter other than what was washed in with the tide. Because of the entry restrictions into Thailand when we visited Koh Lanta, it was very quiet with a number of businesses either closed permanently or temporarily. In the evening, you can witness breathtaking sunsets form Long Beach. Well worth exploring.

The only thing that spoils the approximately 4km of sandy beach is the rubbish washed in with the tide. The resorts situated along the beach remove the rubbish daily and we saw one person filling a sack with bottles. It really is a shame but it’s still possible to enjoy a good walk or run in the early morning cool to work up a good appetite for breakfast!
I guess the main attraction from this beach is the amazing sunsets…truly remarkable. The sunsets are not to be missed.

Its not a great beach by any means, average for Thailand. For Europeans fleeing winter seems great I guess. Lots of people, hotels, restaurants etc. But the fact is that the really nice beaches are in South Lanta not the North.

Fantastic morning spent on this lush beach, nice to sit and enjoy the weather as well as walking up and down it.
Plenty of space and not too crowded, we enjoyed a relaxed trip with no hassle

Our hotel was on this beach so we spent loads of time there. It is fairly basic in terms of facilities but more than makes up for that with its beauty. Soft white sand and a gentle sea, make it very picturesque, especially at sunset.

At this time, you can get a nice cold beer at one of the many bars along the front and sit in silence as nature take its course beautifully.

We used it as exercise as well. Make sure you are covered in suncream and it will take you about half an hour to walk from one end to the other whilst taking in magnificent views.

The sunsets are gorgeous but unfortunately the beach itself is full of trash as are most other beaches we visited on koh Lanta. Some parts near hotels are cleaned up but mostly it is not a pretty sight. There are also many places that look abandoned.

Approximately four kilometres of golden sands looking out to Koh Phi Phi in the distance with the sound of the waves falling onto the beach…perfection!
What better way to start the day and build up an appetite for breakfast than a good walk or run along this magnificent beach. Even in the off season it is popular.
Sadly, and a sign of the times, a considerable amount of rubbish, mainly plastics, get washed in with the tide. The resorts clear their area of the beach regularly and we saw on person filling a sack with plastic bottles much to her credit.
Don’t let this put you off having a good walk!

It’s indeed a Long Beach. We walked there for 4km. It would be too hot under the sun, but walking there after 5pm was pleasant. Plenty restaurants and bars for you to stop by. The beach was clean and full of hermit crabs. You can rent kayaks or SUPs from nearby hotels, but recommend to do so in early mornings when sea is relatively flat. Good for family visit. But if you want to come for souvenirs, this is not the place.

There can’t be many better ways of building up and appetite than a good walk (or run) along the full length of Long Beach. Although busier than on our last visit, it certainly wasn’t crowded first thing the morning but what a way to start the day!
Most of the time, the only sound is the sea lapping onto the sands and the beach, in most parts was litter free.
A delightful beach.

Amazing sunset views here after exploring the island by scooter! There are cafes along the beach with hammocks, beds, and chairs to relax in with a Thai tea. Great view of the sunset and perfect place for golden hour pictures :)
