The pristine beach, world-class snorkelling and peaceful atmosphere that make Long Beach the finest natural escape on Phi Phi Don.
Long Beach
Long Beach (Hat Yao) is the longest and most peaceful beach on Phi Phi Don — a wide stretch of white sand on the southeast coast with calm, clear water and a natural, unspoilt character. The beach is far less crowded than Loh Dalum Bay and has a genuinely relaxed atmosphere. The views of the surrounding limestone karst islands are extraordinary.
Snorkelling
Long Beach has the best snorkelling on Phi Phi Don — a healthy coral reef directly offshore with excellent visibility and abundant marine life including reef sharks, turtles, rays and a huge variety of tropical fish. The snorkelling is accessible directly from the beach without a boat trip. It is one of the finest snorkelling experiences in the Phi Phi Islands.
Bungalow Resorts
Long Beach has a small number of excellent bungalow resorts — the Paradise Pearl Bungalow and the Long Beach Bungalow are among the finest. The resorts are small and intimate, with direct beach access and a relaxed, natural atmosphere. The accommodation is simpler than the village hotels but the setting is far more beautiful.
Sunrises
Long Beach faces east and has the most spectacular sunrises on Phi Phi Don — the sun rises over the Andaman Sea and the surrounding limestone islands, creating extraordinary light and colour. The beach is at its most beautiful in the early morning before the day-trippers arrive from Tonsai.
Scenery
Long Beach has the most dramatic natural scenery on Phi Phi Don — the beach is framed by towering limestone karst cliffs, lush jungle and the clear turquoise water of the Andaman Sea. The views from the beach are extraordinary and the natural setting is the finest on the island.
Getting There
Long Beach is accessible by longtail boat from Tonsai pier (approximately 10 minutes) or by a 20-minute walk along the jungle path from the village. The longtail boats run regularly throughout the day. The walk through the jungle is beautiful and passes through natural forest with views of both sides of the island.
Nature
Long Beach is the most natural area on Phi Phi Don — the beach is backed by lush jungle and the surrounding area is home to monitor lizards, tropical birds and a variety of wildlife. The jungle path from the village passes through beautiful natural forest. The area is the best on the island for those who want a nature-focused experience.
Restaurants
Long Beach has a small selection of beachfront restaurants serving Thai food and fresh seafood — the quality is good and the atmosphere is relaxed. The restaurants are simpler than those in the village but the beachfront setting is far more beautiful. For a wider choice, Tonsai village is just 10 minutes away by longtail.
