Pattaya Beach is not the best beach for swimming or sunbathing because of all the boats that use the beach as a pier. The best beaches are on the east and north coasts of Koh Lipe such as Sunrise Beach, Bulow Beach and Sunset Beach

Koh Lipe is a very small island so you can easily walk between the various beaches and the location of your hotel, resort or guesthouse is less important than whether the room you book meets your needs and represents value for money.

The most lively part of Koh Lipe in the evenings is the main street, called Walking Street, which runs northwards from Pattaya Beach through the middle of the island nearly all the way to Sunrise Beach. Walking Street is packed full of restaurants, bars and shops including the island’s only branch of 7-Eleven convenience stores. Unlike Tonsai Village in Koh Phi Phi, Walking Street is not a ‘party zone’ although there are some establishments which stay open a little later in the evening and attract a younger crowd. The bars and restaurants on Walking Street tend to cater more for families and older visitors.
