Koh Chang Island is ideal for beach holiday. Just for the sake of beautiful beaches , warm sea With clean water, almost untouched jungle, tourists come to Koh Chang. What is the best beach on Koh Chang? Which beach to choose for family vacation, and which one for youth? This article is about all the beaches of Koh Chang, our review and reviews. And if you are also considering for a beach holiday Koh Samui, then I advise you to read and then compare which island is best for your vacation.

There are ten main beaches on Koh Chang:

and several small beaches and coves. All main beaches (except Long Beach) are located on west coast islands, but East End Koh Chang is not suitable for swimming. The coast there looks almost everywhere like in the photo below:

Let's start the review with the beaches west coast. From the ferry crossing, which can be reached from the mainland (read my article), we move counterclockwise from north to south.

White Sand Beach

White Sand Beach- the most famous, noisiest, most popular beach on Koh Chang island. This is where tour operators send our tourists on vacation. It was on White Sand Beach that we saw the most inscriptions and signs in Russian (but don’t be afraid, there are not as many of them there as in or in :)).

White Sand Beach is closest to all other beaches ferry crossing, you can get there in just 15-20 minutes and 50 baht.

The beach is long, but the sand, despite the name, is not completely white. In any case, not as white as on the Gili Islands in Indonesia or on Na.

White Sand is divided into two parts: northern and southern. There is a road along the southern part, and near the sea there are many expensive hotels. But the northern part of the beach can only be reached on foot. And the hotels here are simpler, the atmosphere is more youthful.

Hotels and guesthouses are located both on the shore and in the jungle inland. On White Sand Beach you can find accommodation to suit every taste and budget.

The infrastructure on White Sand Beach is well developed - here you will find everything you need for a holiday and even for a long stay.

Shops, cafes, bars, karaoke, shops with cheap food, night discos - all this is present in sufficient quantities on White Sand Beach.

The beach is ideal for those who like to be in the center of events and for those who like fun and parties. And White Sand is often chosen as a place to live by long-livers of the island because of its good (by island standards) infrastructure. More details here:

South of White Sand Beach is marked on the map Pearl Beach, but the coast in this part of Koh Chang is rocky, so Pearl Beach is not at all suitable for a beach holiday (unless you prefer to swim in the pools rather than in the sea).

Chai Chet Beach

Chai Chet Beach – small cozy beach in the bay. The beach belongs to hotels, which carefully monitor the order on the beach, remove garbage and clean the sand. But anyone can come to sunbathe on the beach, the main thing is not to occupy the hotel sun loungers and swings :)

The sand on the beach is fine, the entrance to the sea is gentle. Chai Chet Beach is ideal for families with children.

Klong Prao Beach

Klong Prao Beach– a long beach of almost 3 kilometers. The beach strip is separated from the main road by a coconut forest, so when choosing Klong Prao for a vacation, you need to understand that you will either have to be content with the hotel infrastructure, or rent a bike; without a bike, I wouldn’t be very comfortable there. Due to the distance from noisy restaurants and bars (only hotel restaurants are on the beach), Klong Prao beach is always quiet and peaceful.

The sea is shallow and the tides are very noticeable. Palm trees and conifers grow almost out of the water :)

There are many expensive hotels on Klong Prao Beach that are ideal for a romantic getaway or a holiday with children. According to the majority of tourists who visited Koh Chang, Klong Prao is the most beautiful beach on the island (we have a different opinion 🙂).

There are also cheap hotels on Klong Prao, such as Tiger Hut. But it seems to me that a stay in such a hotel is very much for everyone :) Read more here:

Kai Bae Beach

We follow further to the south of Koh Chang and get to Kai Bay beach. Kai Bay is such a golden mean between the noisy White Sand and the quiet Klong Prao. The main island road runs along the beach, where shops, cafes, and restaurants are concentrated.

The beach itself is rocky in the north and sandy in the south. We found Kai Bay beach in not the best light due to bad weather and strong tide (or is it low tide?). Actually in good weather everything is much better here :)

Kai Bay beach in bad weather

There are many Russian speakers on Kai Bay beach, especially many families with small children. Kai Bei ends.

Lonely Beach

Behind the difficult serpentine and mountain pass after Kai Bei starts beach Longley Beach. The jungles and mountains in this part of the island come almost close to coastline and the beach. Monkeys walk along the road, you can hear the chirping of birds and the sound of real tropical forest. This is how Longley Beach welcomes tourists.

Despite its name (“Lonely”), Lonely Beach is no longer deserted as it was many years ago. There are, of course, much fewer people here than on the above beaches, especially in its northernmost part.

The sand on the beach is fine, but not quite like flour, but coarser. Smooth entry into the sea, the ebb and flow of the tides are almost not felt. I recommend staying at a hotel on Lonely Beach.

Right (north) side of Longley Beach

South part Longley Beach is rocky. A little further south begins the village of Lonley Beach itself with all its tourist infrastructure. You can also find inexpensive housing here. For example, we lived in a nice little house for several days. Houses are also available for long-term rent.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to swim in the sea in this part of the beach. But you can catch fish :)

The southern part of Longley Beach is chosen by young people and backpackers from all over the world. It is on Longley Beach that there are the most young foreigners.

Longley Beach is our favorite beach on Koh Chang. There is some special atmosphere of love, calmness and happiness here, which is difficult to convey in words.

Balian Bay Beach

Balian Bay Beach is located further south after Lonley Beach. It is not very popular among tourists due to its undeveloped infrastructure (no shops, cafes). Northern part The beach is rocky, but the southern part is very nice.

Southern part of Balian Bay beach

Nearby is the Top Tree Adventure park (I talked a little about it in the review article about Koh Chang).

Bang Bao

Bang Bao this is a fishing village (very, very touristy), entirely consisting of cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops along a long pier. There is no beach here, you can swim right from the porch of the hotel house :)

The fishing village of Bang Bao

But if before reaching Bang Bao you turn right onto the cape, you will end up on a small beach. From a distance it even looks nice, but up close it doesn’t look so good, although you can swim.

The beach is before reaching Bang Bao. This is what it looks like from the pier

and here it is close up :)

Detailed article with photos:

Kong Koi Beach

Kong Koi is a very pretty beach with coarse sand and azure water. There are quite a lot of people at the beginning of the beach, near the road. But if we walk further along the beach, we will find completely deserted places.

Part of Kong Koi Beach is closer to the road

Completely empty beach!

Kong Koi is a very beautiful beach, although the infrastructure here is not very developed, but there are cafes and accommodation. You will have to go to the neighboring village to go to the shops.

Grand Lagoona Beach Hotel

Entry to beach of the Grand Laguna hotel it will be a little further if you take the road from Kong Koi Beach. There is a fee to enter the hotel premises.

The beach is located on the territory of the hotel, which is made in the shape of a ship. The beach is almost empty! There is a swimming pool. The sea water is clean and clear, and the sand is dazzling. Just a picture of Bounty. I recommend!

Magnificent Grand Laguna Beach!

Long Beach

Long Beach one might say the only beach suitable for swimming in east coast Ko Chang. The road to it is difficult.

The beach itself, in our opinion, is not worth the effort that is required to get to Long Beach. and decide for yourself whether to go there or not.

Long Beach

On the way to Long Beach, we stopped at another small beach with a single hotel.
