Best beaches in Koh Phi Phi – this task was difficult! Thailand is packed to the brim with stunning islands full of unparalleled beauty, and Koh Phi Phi is no exception.
But like with all islands – it does have a few favorites. The kind of beaches to take your breath away.
To reconnect with nature and to stand in awe at the wonders of the world!
I am an island child forever connected to the sea…so writing this post gave me a great deal of joy too!
I do all the hard work for you, so all you need to worry about is what to pack for Thailand. Read more for the best beaches in Koh Phi Phi!

Best beaches in Koh Phi Phi – Long Beach
About a 10-minute boat ride from Phi Phi Don lies a quiet sleepy stretch of sandy paradise known as Long Beach.
Here, you’ll find some of the cleanest waters in Phi Phi beaches. And a much-needed moment of peace and quiet away from it all.
On the beach itself, there are no sun loungers for rent, only deck chairs, and little amenities.
Long Beach has a rock popping out of the water called Shark Point! This is where visitors go to get a view of blacktip reef sharks which are abundant in the area.
Feel free to snorkel, dive, and explore! Take a packed lunch with you so you don’t have to go searching for food and water!
Loh Dalum Beach
Loh Dalum is beautiful. Located in the heart of Tonsai and almost entirely enclosed by limestone cliffs! Naturally, the views are to die for!
Shallow and warm water and no waves to be seen on this soft white sand beach!
Although it can get very busy, I spent quite a bit of time in Loh Dalum as my hotel was right on the edge of the water.
Being Cypriot and used to the madness of Ayia Napa beaches, I personally didn’t mind the crowds!
My fave spot: People-watching and daydreaming on my favorite swing.It makes for some great pictures too!
Best beaches in Koh Phi Phi – Phak Nam Bay
The ‘Relax Beach’ is among the most popular tourist places in Phi Phi Islands! Here, people enjoy the calm by lounging in the beach houses.
Beach bars along with diving and snorkeling spots are the main attractions here so expect some great food and water sports! Here, you’ll find a younger crowd and a chilled but lively vibe!

Nui Beach
At Nui Beach, you will find calm and shallow waters, a long stretch of sandy beach, and a general feeling of exclusivity. The beach is maintained by the Nui Bay Member Club.
Additionally, it boasts a plethora of amenities as well as water activities including scuba diving and kayaking.
You can have a pretty full day at Nui Beach and encounter tourists and locals alike. Good food, good crowd, good vibes!
Best beaches in Koh Phi Phi – Laem Tong Beach
A 1 km long beach on north-east Phi Phi Don is accessible only by boat.
The sound of crashing waves and its peacefulness makes this beach worthy of my best beaches in Koh Phi Phi list.
Head to Laem Tong for a day of secluded beauty and quiet.
Snorkel, dive, sunbathe, meditate, practice yoga, and just… relax! Taxi boats are easy to find and inexpensive too.
Responsible tourism – Save the planet
Phi Phi islands, and the rest of Thailand, are as close to paradise as you will see.
Sadly, they are dying – at the hands of irresponsible tourism.
Plastic waste, sea pollution and the destroyed coral reefs are killing the island’s treasures.
The situation is so tragic, that Maya Bay (From the film ”The Beach”) has been shut off entirely to the public and who knows what will follow? I would like to use my platform to do good.
We- the simple travelers – have a huge responsibility to change the way we travel. Our planet – and its many treasures – is dying and it is begging for our help! My Guide to Responsible tourism is a simple guide to help you take the first steps to travel green!
The Earth is what we all have in common
