Long Beach

The beach is quieter compared to the popular beaches on the west coast, and you'll only find one, maybe two, beach bar restaurants. It's not as well-maintained as the busier beaches, so there may be some rubbish that washes ashore. However, the water is clearer and cleaner towards the middle, with less seaweed on the northern side near the main restaurant. The tide was low when we visited, so we had to walk out about 50-100 meters in the shallow water to swim properly. The waves were gentle, and the sea was somewhat clear and warm. The roads for motorbike transit, which takes at least an hour from the Klong Prao beach area, are in good condition, but there are some steep hills, winding roads with sharp bends, and fast-moving trucks, so caution is advised. The quality of swimming here is not better than the main beaches, but the main attraction is that it's not overly developed for tourism and still maintains a more untouched atmosphere.

What I like: This beach is a beautiful and peaceful destination, perfect for those looking for a tranquil getaway. The highlight of the area is the stunning white sand beach, which offers a wide and spacious stretch for sunbathing and relaxation. Personally, I love lounging under the shade of a fiddle-leaf fig tree while soaking up the sun. Additionally, the crystal-clear water is a major attraction, providing a refreshing and inviting spot for swimming and snorkeling. What I don't like: However, it is quite disheartening to see littered water bottles scattered across the sand. It really takes away from the beach's natural beauty. Hopefully, efforts will be made to ensure that the beach remains clean and pristine.

Long Beach on Koh Chang is one of my top choices when it comes to beaches. I absolutely adore the crystal-clear emerald green waters, especially on a scorching sunny day. The first time I visited this beach, I instantly fell in love with the island. It is situated in a rural area of the island, which adds to its charm and creates a naturalistic paradise. Throughout most of the year, the water gradually becomes deeper after 100 meters, making it a relatively safe spot for adults, couples, friends, and families.

We visited this beach two weeks ago and stayed for five nights. The beach is vibrant, bustling, and absolutely incredible! It boasts the best restaurant on the entire island, and the prices are quite reasonable. We will definitely miss this stunning place.

The journey to this beach may be lengthy, but it's definitely worth a shot. Upon arrival, it felt as if we were the only ones there, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The view was absolutely stunning, leaving us in awe. I did find the name of a bar a bit peculiar, though. Overall, the road trip itself was incredible. I highly recommend giving it a try.
