Loh Moo Dee Beach

4.4(735 reviews)

Loh Moo Dee Beach is a quieter alternative to the more crowded stretches of the Phi Phi Islands, offering white sands framed by lush tree cover and calm, clear waters well suited to snorkelling. Its relatively secluded setting gives it a laid-back character that appeals to travellers looking to escape the busier tourist hubs nearby, while still having access to basic refreshments from casual beachside shacks. The atmosphere here is unhurried and relaxed, with the natural surroundings doing most of the talking. Visitors can expect soft sand, shade from the tree line, and decent visibility in the water for those keen to explore marine life close to shore. The beach is accessible throughout the day and draws a mix of day-trippers and those staying on the island looking for a slower pace. As with most beaches in the Phi Phi Islands, the area is best enjoyed outside of peak monsoon season, which typically runs from May through October. Visiting earlier in the morning helps avoid the midday heat and any influx of day-trip boats. Facilities are minimal, so bringing sun protection, plenty of water, and any snorkelling equipment is advisable, as on-site amenities are limited to small refreshment vendors rather than full services.

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.
