Phi Phi Islands - Beaches

Phi Phi Don

Phi Phi's main island is where you will find a range of accommodation from basic bungalows to more up market resorts. Nightlife, shopping and restaurants are located generally around the central Tonsai area, where the boats arrive and depart. The smaller beaches directly north and south of Tonsai also have some basic accommodation, but the most of the more upmarket resorts are located around the smaller areas on the north and east coast, usually with their own beach. These are accessible by local boat from Tonsai as there are no roads on the island.

Ton Sai Bay
1 km of white sand beach - the main area where the boats dock. Lots of accommodation, restaurants and places to meet. The beach area streches back to Ao Lo Dalam, around the central area which forms the focus of the island. Touristy but fun.

Haad Yao or ‘Long Beach’ where the best snorkeling reefs are found. Boats leave regularly from Ton Sai, or you can walk along the beach from Tonsai at low tide. One of the most popular southern beaches.

Ao Lo Dalam
Not so much action as Tonsai, although close enough if you want a night out. Some popular resorts are located here.

Laem Tong

Phi Phi Leh (Phi Phi Ley)

There is no accommodation on Phi Phi Lei, as most of the island is composed of sheer cliffs and small lagoons with teeming fish. Trips leave every day for sightseeing and snorkelling - especially good for beginners as the water is warm, absolutely clear, and shallow.

Maya Bay - made famous as a location for the Hollywood film "The Beach." Great for snorkelling, lots of coral gardens and colourful fish, although can get a little busy in high season.
