Koh Lipe Beaches

Koh Lipe is known for its gorgeous beaches, with several choices. The most popular are Pattaya Beach, Sunrise Beach, and Sunset Beach. Pattaya Beach is the island’s main beach, lined with restaurants and bars. Sunrise Beach is quieter and more secluded, while Sunset Beach is perfect for watching the sun go down.

Caution: Stonefish have been observed and captured on camera in the waters around Koh Lipe. Even if the likelihood of being stung is low, you should consider wearing protective footwear when swimming in the sea.

Diving and Snorkelling

Koh Lipe is surrounded by some of Thailand’s best diving and snorkelling spots. The coral reefs are home to various marine life, including sea turtles, reef sharks, and colourful fish. There are several dive shops on the island that offer day trips to nearby dive sites.

The most popular snorkelling spots are Hin Ngam and Koh Kra. For diving, the most popular sites are Koh Hin Son and the Yong Hua Shipwreck.

Island Hopping Around Koh Lipe

Koh Lipe is part of the Adang Archipelago, which consists of several smaller islands. You can take a long-tail boat or a speedboat to explore these islands, including Koh Adang, Koh Rawi, and Koh Hin Ngam. Koh Adang is the largest island with hiking trails and waterfalls.

Sunset at Koh Adang

One of the most spectacular sights in Koh Lipe is the sunset at Koh Adang. You can take a boat to the island and hike to the top of the hill for a stunning sunset view over the Andaman Sea.

Koh Lipe Walking Street

Koh Lipe’s main street is a pedestrian-only area lined with shops, restaurants, and bars. It’s a narrow street that runs from Pattaya Beach to Sunrise Beach. It’s a great place to explore the local culture and cuisine.

Nightlife in Koh Lipe

Koh Lipe has a vibrant nightlife scene that caters to all types of travellers—many bars and clubs on the island offer live music, DJs, and dancing. The bars on Pattaya Beach are the busiest, but there are also many quieter bars on Sunrise and Sunset Beach.

You can explore Koh Lipe entirely on foot. Narrow concrete roadways connect all the beaches. But if you don’t prefer walking, you can take long-tail boats to transport you from one island to another for around 50 baht. For 50–200 baht, you can ride a motorcycle taxi to get about the island. The average cost of a motorcycle taxi between most locations on the island is 50 baht per passenger.
