As the name suggests, Long Beach is the longest beach on Koh Yao Noi. It's unspoiled, partly rocky, and therefore rarely crowded. The somewhat difficult access also contributes to its tranquility. The location is charming, and the view of the karst peaks of Phang Nga Bay is stunning. But the best thing about Long Beach is the feeling of being completely alone on a secluded, untouched island. A word of caution: Long Beach is probably the worst beach on Koh Yao Noi for swimming, mainly due to the sharp rocks. If you still want to swim, be extremely careful and wear water shoes if possible. At the intersection of Little Long Beach and Long Beach, there's a rock that looks like a giant face (see my photo). Don't forget to take a picture!

There are very few accommodations and restaurants near Long Beach; the beach is mostly surrounded by forests and rubber plantations.

To get to Long Beach, you'll need a rental motorcycle or bicycle. I opted for the bicycle; it's quite easy, albeit a long ride. A mountain bike is recommended, as much of the route to Long Beach is on a dirt road.
