About Loh Dalum Beach

Loh Dalum Beach is the social heart of Koh Phi Phi Don, a stunning semicircular bay on the north side of the island's narrow isthmus. By day, it's an idyllic swimming beach with shallow turquoise water stretching to the surrounding limestone islands. The wide, gently sloping sand is perfect for families and casual swimmers, and kayaks are available for exploring the bay.

As evening falls, Loh Dalum transforms into Koh Phi Phi's famous party scene β€” beach bars set up bucket drinks and cushions on the sand, fire dancers perform spectacular shows, and the music carries across the bay. The contrast between the daytime family paradise and the nighttime party atmosphere makes Loh Dalum one of Thailand's most unique beach experiences.
