Phra Ae Beach

4 Leonardo Gallego - 3 years ago

Great beach to relax and enjoy a few quiet days. It's also a great base for day trips (specially to Ko Rok and the 4 islands south east as well as Phi Phi to the north west), as the boats leave from the south end of Phra Ae. The water is great and the beach is long enough to accommodate everyone without getting cramped. Even in high season there is lots of space available to enjoy the sand and the water by yourself. I'm only taking one star because we crossed a couple of jellyfish during our stay, so you can't have the ultimate relax in the water due to being conscious of the danger they pose while having a swim. The ones we saw were reddish bells and aren't deadly (those are the blue box ones), but they sting nonetheless. Last but not least, it's a beautiful beach to enjoy sunsets and moon rises too!!

Best beach on Koh Lanta. Sand is soft, water is calm and deep (perfect for swimming), and there are tons of places along the shore to stop and grab a drink. The beach is huge and there is plenty of room. Never gets too crowded or dirty.

Only downside is that it's hard to find some shade! Pack a beach umbrella if you're able! If not, taking a break at one of the many bars will do just fine.

Lovely beach - we spent 4 wonderful days doing literally nothing at this beach. I kept expecting it to be busy but it was so chilled. The food is a little pricey at the beach restaurants - expect between 80-200 baht for a noodle dish, with no real difference between them. We spent our days on the hammocks at Lym's Bar and Restaurant, which is attached to the Long Beach Chalet Hotel (which looks amazing). Chang is 70 baht... Great place to watch the sunset too.

Good beach. Long, with many bars and restaurants and not crowded. Can get windy and there are tiny medusas sometimes but waaay better than crowded Phi Phi or Phuket.

Nice beach, you can swim all day, not so many tourists, relaxed beach bars are here. No water activities as on patong. Recomend for family rest.

There's a few pretty overloaded and touristy spots, but you can usually find a space to yourself. It is still very active throughout the day. There are beautiful views of islands on clear days. Great place to go to be a beach bum with endless options of food, drink, and massage services.

Nice, clean sandy beach about 2,5 km long with a lot of restaurants and bars. Our favorite restaurant here is Thai Cat.
