Loh Dalum Beach
Loh Dalum Beach is one of the most recognisable bays in the Phi Phi Islands, curving in a wide crescent along the northern shore of Phi Phi Don. Its shallow, clear turquoise water and soft sand draw visitors looking for both relaxed swimming and a sociable beach atmosphere. The bay sits just a short walk from the main village and pier, making it easily accessible without the need for additional boat transfers. The beach has a dual personality — calm and scenic during the day, with longtail boats dotting the water and vendors along the shore, it transitions into a lively hub in the evening as beachfront bars and fire shows draw both travellers and locals. The wide, open bay also offers views across to the surrounding limestone hills that define the Phi Phi landscape. Visitors should be aware that Loh Dalum is one of the most popular beaches on the island, meaning it can become crowded during peak season, which runs roughly from November through April. The bay is also prone to flooding during the monsoon months between May and October, and some facilities may be reduced during this period. Arriving early in the day is the best way to secure a quieter spot on the sand. No booking is required to access the beach itself.

Tips for Visiting Beaches
Check Monsoon Windows
Andaman coast beaches (Phuket, Krabi) have rough seas May–October. Gulf beaches (Samui, Hua Hin) are roughest October–December. Plan your beach trip around these windows for calm water and safe swimming.
Go Early for Empty Sand
Even the busiest beaches are nearly deserted before 9 AM. Sunrise walks on Kata, Chaweng, or Railay are magical — 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.
