Where Is Long Beach Located?

• Long Beach is the second main beach in the north of Koh Lanta. It’s the second-nearest beach to

Saladan Village, which is where all visitors to Koh Lanta arrive, so Long Beach hotels have a transfer time of about 15-20 minutes from Saladan to anywhere along Long Beach.

As Long Beach is so near to Saladan and the point of arrival and exit from the island, it’s also one of Koh Lanta’s most popular beaches.

As well as the restaurants and resorts on Long Beach itself, there are also many places to eat and stay behind Long beach on the main road, giving you even more options within walking distance.  It’s a 10 to 15 minute tuk-tuk ride from Long Beach to Saladan village, where there are several great restaurants built over the water, as well as massage shops, a modest supermarket, some holiday shopping outlets and stalls, opticians and various Thai banks.
