About
Long Beach, also known as Hat Yao or LBC, is a stretch of white sand on the eastern side of Phi Phi Don island, in Krabi province, Thailand. The listing gives its address as Hat Yao, Phi Phi Don, Krabi 81000, though it also carries a United States and California location, which does not match the island and is worth checking before you plan your route.
What the beach offers
Long Beach is described as a peaceful stretch, and it is quieter than many of the other beaches on Phi Phi Don. For visitors who want a slower pace, that is the main appeal. The water is clear, which makes it a pleasant place for a swim, and the views across the surrounding islands are a large part of the experience.
Planning a visit
- Setting: a white sand beach with open views of the islands around Phi Phi Don.
- Mood: calmer than the busier beaches, suited to a relaxed afternoon.
- Water: clear enough for swimming.
- Also known as: Hat Yao or LBC, so look for these names when asking locally or searching maps.
Because the island is a boat-access destination, getting to Long Beach will depend on ferries and tours from the Krabi area. Check current transport options and conditions before you go, as they can change with the season and the weather.
