It is flat, recedes at low tide and during the summer months a few hundred metres, but however always very well suitable for swimming. Just the northern part is stony, the rest is without stones so getting into the deeper waters is even at low tide no problem.

Since 2005 there is a low budget bungalow resort in the north of Long Beach. In 2008 there was another one built in the southern part of the beach.

Hotels and more expensive accommodations are (not) there, so Long Beach is one of the few still quite undeveloped beaches of the entire island.

At the southernmost end of Ko Chang, just a few hundred metres from Long Beach, one reaches a small beach, the "Koh Chang Remembrance" with inscribed tablets and a naval shrine to the memory of the victims of the sea-battle 1941 (see "What to do on Ko Chang?", "Koh Chang Remembrance - the sunken Warships").

Arrival & Departure:
At the end of 2009 there were no regular taxis driving to Long Beach, so you either have to go there by chartered boat from Salak Phet Bay.

Keep on this road to the next bigger junction. Turn left there, direction "Koh Chang Remembrance" and "Long Beach". After a few hundred metres the road gets step and winding and you will pass a few places at the road from where you have an incredible view into Salak Phet Bay and to the islands south of Ko Chang ("What to do on Ko Chang?", "Viewpoints on Ko Chang"). Shortly after the viewpoint the road turns into a dust road so the last part should only be made by experienced drivers!

We point out, that in rainy-season between May and October, at some beaches strong currents may occur!
Since people drowned already, we ask you not to ignore the warning-signs!
