BEACH
Long Beach offers a 2-kilometer stretch of golden sand with only a few places to stay. Before COVID it was a quiet and beautiful natural beach with cozy stays all along the beach. However, right after COVID, the northern part of the beach had a somewhat deserted impression. Nowadays, the southern part is better developed and is the most social part of the beach.
Be sure to pay attention for the swimming condition! At low tide there are stones off the coast, making it more difficult to swim. Fortunately, there are still places in the south and middle part of the beach where you can enter the water to cool off. At Woodland Lodge you can swim at low tide, but not further north. In the southern part of the beach, near the small island of Ko Pe Lat, snorkeling is enjoyable. You won’t find coral, but you will find colorful fish.
WHERE TO STAY
Koh Jum Delight Beach and Andaman Beach Resort are both mid-range options. Joy Bungalow and the Woodland Lodge are both budget options, offering simple but beautiful bamboo and wooden bungalows among spacious gardens. To swim at low tide at Andaman Beach Resort you have to walk 5 minutes south!
On the beach there are only a few restaurants, but if you walk to the main road you will find some alternative options.
