Latest reviews on Ko Lipe island's beaches

North Point Beach
10 Nico Santangelo

What a stunning sight! The crystal-clear water is a sight to behold. The beach is immaculate and well-maintained, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Patai Galah Beach
2 Zander Klymenko

While the beach itself has the potential to be beautiful, it's not worth the trek to get there. Despite the island's small size, the roads leading to the beach are littered with trash and the beach itself is often filled with debris from fishermen. The only redeeming aspect of the beach is the short but steep path that leads to it, which winds through tangled branches and vines.

Sunrise Beach
10 Nyllia

This beach is a great spot to catch the sunrise, as many people gather here for that purpose. Despite the crowds, the atmosphere remains calm and inviting. Later in the day, visitors can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it can get busy with long tail boats at certain times.

Lipe Secret Beach
8 Max Andersson

The beach is really beautiful, especially the sandy area and the water. However, there is a significant amount of litter once you reach the jungle. It would be a good idea to bring a garbage bag and pick up some trash to help keep the beach clean. I decided to hike through the jungle to get here, but I wouldn't recommend it. On my way back, I discovered a trail that led me to Svedo and then another one to Patai Galah. If you're planning to visit Secret Beach, I suggest going to Galah first and then continuing west along the coast using the small trails.
