Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great beach!
Oct. 2023 • Couples
Approximately 4km of golden sands washed by the waves of the Andaman sea and often in the evenings a place from which to witness incredible sunsets. A pre breakfast brisk walk before the heat increases is a good way to start the day and to work up an appetite!
There is one inevitable draw back and that is rubbish being washed in by the tide. Parts of the beach near resorts are kept clean with regular collections of mainly discarded fishing equipment. People are not excused either and we have seen on several occasions people leaving empty bottles etc on the beach rather than disposing of them properly.
Despite the litter problem, it’s a great beach.

Golden sands…
Apr. 2023
The only thing that spoils the approximately 4km of sandy beach is the rubbish washed in with the tide. The resorts situated along the beach remove the rubbish daily and we saw one person filling a sack with bottles. It really is a shame but it’s still possible to enjoy a good walk or run in the early morning cool to work up a good appetite for breakfast!
I guess the main attraction from this beach is the amazing sunsets…truly remarkable. The sunsets are not to be missed.

Average and very busy
Mar. 2023
Its not a great beach by any means, average for Thailand. For Europeans fleeing winter seems great I guess. Lots of people, hotels, restaurants etc. But the fact is that the really nice beaches are in South Lanta not the North.

Beautiful beach for sun bathing and walking
Dec. 2022 • Couples
Fantastic morning spent on this lush beach, nice to sit and enjoy the weather as well as walking up and down it.
Plenty of space and not too crowded, we enjoyed a relaxed trip with no hassle

Just wonderful!
Nov. 2022 • Couples
Our hotel was on this beach so we spent loads of time there. It is fairly basic in terms of facilities but more than makes up for that with its beauty. Soft white sand and a gentle sea, make it very picturesque, especially at sunset.

At this time, you can get a nice cold beer at one of the many bars along the front and sit in silence as nature take its course beautifully.

We used it as exercise as well. Make sure you are covered in suncream and it will take you about half an hour to walk from one end to the other whilst taking in magnificent views.

Not what we expected
Sep. 2022 • Friends
The sunsets are gorgeous but unfortunately the beach itself is full of trash as are most other beaches we visited on koh Lanta. Some parts near hotels are cleaned up but mostly it is not a pretty sight. There are also many places that look abandoned.

Beautiful!
Aug. 2022 • Couples
Approximately four kilometres of golden sands looking out to Koh Phi Phi in the distance with the sound of the waves falling onto the beach…perfection!
What better way to start the day and build up an appetite for breakfast than a good walk or run along this magnificent beach. Even in the off season it is popular.
Sadly, and a sign of the times, a considerable amount of rubbish, mainly plastics, get washed in with the tide. The resorts clear their area of the beach regularly and we saw on person filling a sack with plastic bottles much to her credit.
Don’t let this put you off having a good walk!

Great place for sunset walk
Apr. 2022 • Couples
It’s indeed a Long Beach. We walked there for 4km. It would be too hot under the sun, but walking there after 5pm was pleasant. Plenty restaurants and bars for you to stop by. The beach was clean and full of hermit crabs. You can rent kayaks or SUPs from nearby hotels, but recommend to do so in early mornings when sea is relatively flat. Good for family visit. But if you want to come for souvenirs, this is not the place.

Golden sands - amazing sunsets.
Jan. 2022 • Couples
There can’t be many better ways of building up and appetite than a good walk (or run) along the full length of Long Beach. Although busier than on our last visit, it certainly wasn’t crowded first thing the morning but what a way to start the day!
Most of the time, the only sound is the sea lapping onto the sands and the beach, in most parts was litter free.
A delightful beach.
