Which beaches on Ko Lipe are the best?

Ko Lipe has several excellent beaches, each with its own character. The three main and most famous ones are Pattaya, Sunrise, and Sunset. Which one is "the best" depends on what you're looking for: partying, seclusion, a perfect sunset, or convenience for swimming.

Comparison of Ko Lipe beaches: which one to choose?

Beach	Atmosphere	Pros	Cons	Who it's suitable for
Pattaya Beach	The most lively, party-oriented, central.	Access to the main Walking Street, all infrastructure at hand, many cafes and bars, ferries arrive here.	The most crowded, many boats near the shore, swimming areas are fenced off with buoys.	Those who want to be in the center of events, love convenience, and don't mind a noisy atmosphere.
Sunrise Beach	Calm, relaxed, "rustic."	Best sand and water, excellent view of Ko Adang island, ideal for sunrise watching, good reef for snorkeling nearby, can kayak to small islands.	At low tide, the water recedes far, it takes a long time to enter the water. In the morning, it can be noisy from tourists watching the sunrise.	Most tourists! Those looking for a beautiful and calm beach for swimming and relaxation.
Sunset Beach	Cozy, romantic, sunset-oriented.	Best place to see off the sun, atmospheric bars right by the water (e.g., Happy Mojito with cheap cocktails), few people, excellent swimming conditions.	Almost no hotels, after sunset mosquitoes attack (bring repellent!).	Romantics, sunset lovers, those who appreciate cozy bars on the shore.

And there are also "secret" wild beaches!

In addition to the main trio, on the western coast of Ko Lipe, there is a chain of wild, sparsely populated beaches (e.g., Suta, Pantai Galah). You can reach them on foot via trails through the forest or by rented kayak. This is an ideal option for complete seclusion and a picnic in nature.

We walked around and filmed on video absolutely all the beaches of the island. You can read more and watch in our detailed review: Beaches on Ko Lipe.
