Sunset Beach, Koh Lipe
The smallest and quietest of Koh Lipe's three beaches, on the north-west shore.
Sunset Beach, Koh Lipe
Sunset Beach is the shortest of Koh Lipe's three main beaches, tucked into the island's north-west corner and reached on foot across the island or along the shore from Sunrise Beach. It is the quietest of the three by some margin.
It looks west across open water toward Koh Adang's southern tip, and as the name promises it is where people gather at the end of the day. A handful of low-key bars and bungalow places sit behind the sand.
The swimming is calm but the beach is small and can be shallow at low tide. Walking Street is about ten minutes away on foot.

- Sunrise Beach (Hat Chao Ley), Koh Lipe — The long east-facing beach on Koh Lipe, looking across the channel to Koh Adang.
