Beach Jetty Koh Jum

Beach Jetty Koh Jum is a beach landing point on Koh Jum, a quiet island in Krabi Province, southern Thailand. It serves travellers heading to and from the island's western beaches and connecting onward to the mainland and nearby islands.

What this pier serves

Unlike a large concrete terminal, Beach Jetty Koh Jum is a simple beach jetty typical of small Thai islands. Arrivals and departures are often handled directly on or near the sand, which keeps things informal but means facilities are limited compared with a mainland port.

The jetty is used mainly by passengers travelling with island transfer services and by guests of the surrounding beach accommodation. Depending on the service you book, you may be brought to or from a larger vessel by longtail boat rather than boarding directly at a fixed pontoon.

Location and how to get there

Koh Jum sits between Krabi and Koh Lanta, with the beach jetty located on the island's coast within easy reach of the main beach areas. There is no bridge to the island, so all arrivals are by boat.

• By boat: Reach the island from the Krabi mainland or from neighbouring islands, then continue to the beach jetty by local transfer if you land elsewhere.
• On the island: Motorbike taxis, songthaews and hotel pick-ups are the usual ways to cover the short distances between beaches and the jetty. Roads are narrow and partly unsealed, so allow extra time.
• On foot: If you are staying nearby, walking along the beach to the jetty is common and often the quickest option.

Facilities

Expect a basic, open-air setting rather than a full terminal building. Facilities on and around the beach are limited, and services can vary by season.

• Shaded waiting areas are usually informal, often at nearby cafés, bars or guesthouses.
• Shops, restrooms and refreshments are typically found at the surrounding beach businesses rather than at the jetty itself.
• There is no baggage storage or porter service, so pack light and be ready to carry your own luggage across sand.
• Card payment and ATMs are not reliably available on the island — carry cash.

Accessibility

Boarding at a beach jetty can involve soft sand, short ladders or steps, and sometimes wading a short distance in shallow water. Travellers with reduced mobility, small children or heavy bags should plan ahead and let staff know if assistance is needed.

Routes and operators

Connections from Beach Jetty Koh Jum link the island with mainland Krabi and with nearby island destinations. Available routes, operators and departure times change with the season, and some services run only during the high season.

Check-in and boarding notes

• Arrive early. Aim to be at the jetty well before your scheduled departure; beach pick-ups can happen slightly ahead of time.
• Bring your booking confirmation. Have your ticket or voucher ready on your phone or printed, along with photo ID.
• Confirm the exact meeting point. Beach landings do not always have a single fixed spot — check with your accommodation or the operator on the day.
• Dress for a beach boarding. Sandals or bare feet and rolled-up trousers make it easier if you need to step through shallow water.
• Protect your belongings. Use a dry bag or waterproof cover for electronics and documents.
• Watch the weather. Sea conditions can affect small-boat services, and departures may be adjusted or cancelled in poor weather.
