Sunrise Beach (Hat Chao Ley), Koh Lipe
Sunrise Beach (Hat Chao Ley) on Koh Lipe offers calm, shallow waters and soft sand, perfect for a peaceful morning swim or watching the sun rise over the Andaman Sea.
Sunrise Beach (Hat Chao Ley), Koh Lipe
Sunrise Beach - Hat Chao Ley - runs along Koh Lipe's north-east shore and is the longest of the island's three main beaches. It faces the channel that separates Lipe from the forested bulk of Koh Adang, which fills the view a kilometre offshore.
The sand is white and the water shallow and clear, with reef at the northern end within swimming distance. It is quieter than Pattaya Beach, and longtails run from here across to Adang and the smaller islands. As the name says, it takes the sunrise.
The whole island sits inside Tarutao National Marine Park, so a park fee is collected on arrival. Lipe closes to most ferry traffic during the south-west monsoon, roughly mid-May to mid-October, and services are seasonal rather than year-round.
