Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked away on the northern tip of Koh Lipe, North Point Beach offers a more secluded alternative to the island's busier shores. Its calm, clear waters and relatively uncrowded stretches of sand attract travelers looking to escape the higher foot traffic found on Sunrise and Sunset beaches. The surrounding scenery is typical of the Tarutao National Marine Park area, with shallow turquoise water and a laid-back coastal feel that rewards those willing to make the short journey to reach it.

Visitors can expect a tranquil environment suited to swimming, snorkeling, and simply relaxing on the sand. The beach tends to draw a quieter crowd, making it a good option for those seeking a slower pace. Longtail boats and island-hopping trips also pass through the area, giving the spot a gentle sense of activity without feeling busy or commercialized.

As with all beaches on Koh Lipe, North Point Beach is accessible year-round, though the best conditions generally fall between November and April, when the Andaman Sea is calmer and visibility for snorkeling is at its clearest. The wet season, running roughly from May to October, can bring rougher waters and reduced accessibility. There are no formal facilities listed at this location, so visitors are advised to bring their own water, sunscreen, and any supplies they may need for a comfortable stay.

Tips for Visiting Beaches

Go Early for Empty Sand

Even the busiest beaches are nearly deserted before 9 AM. A sunrise walk is the best hour of the day on the sand, and you'll beat the heat for a morning swim.

Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Many Thai marine parks ban chemical sunscreens that damage coral. Bring reef-safe (mineral/zinc-based) sunscreen from home — it's harder to find and pricier in Thailand.
