“Crescent bay with crystal-clear waters, perfect for kayaking and shallow swimming. Features stunning sunsets, world-famous fire shows, and vibrant beach parties that define the island’s nightlife.”

Loh Dalum Bay is regarded as one of the most significant natural jewels of the Phi Phi Islands. Geomorphologically, it features a striking symmetrical horseshoe-shaped bay, connected to Ton Sai Bay by a narrow sandy isthmus approximately 150-200 meters wide—a rare geographical formation known as a "Tombolo." The bay is cradled by towering limestone cliffs draped in lush tropical greenery, acting as a natural fortress that shields the interior from heavy swells and maritime winds. This results in incredibly calm, mirror-like waters throughout most of the year, resembling a vast, natural swimming pool.

The most defining physical characteristic of Loh Dalum Bay is its "extreme shallowness." Particularly during low tide, the water recedes to reveal hundreds of meters of fine, powdery white sand. Visitors can wade out toward the center of the bay for a considerable distance with the water level reaching only as high as their knees. The seabed consists of soft, clean sand devoid of sharp rocks or dense coral reefs near the shoreline, making it one of the safest and most relaxing spots for families and children to swim. Furthermore, its tranquil conditions make it the premier starting point for kayaking excursions to nearby Monkey Bay or other surrounding snorkeling sites.

Aesthetically, Loh Dalum Bay is celebrated as one of the most romantic sunset viewpoints on the island. Facing northwest, the bay captures the golden evening light as it reflects off the still water, creating a breathtaking visual spectacle. As twilight fades, the bay’s atmosphere undergoes a complete transformation from a serene sanctuary into a world-class entertainment hub. The shoreline comes alive with the glow of fire-spinning performances—a cultural hallmark of Phi Phi tourism—complemented by rhythmic beats from beachfront bars that draw travelers from across the globe to experience the vibrant spirit of island nightlife under the stars.


How to Get There
  • From Ton Sai Pier (Phi Phi Don), you can reach Loh Dalum Bay on foot in just 5-10 minutes by walking through the island's central shopping area. If traveling from Krabi Town or Phuket, take a ferry or speedboat to Ton Sai Pier first.

Travel Tips
  • Check the tide tables before visiting as the water becomes too shallow for swimming during low tide.

  • For photos of vast, sweeping white sandbanks, visit during the transition to low tide.

  • Use reef-safe sunscreen to help protect the island's delicate marine ecosystem.

  • Rent a kayak to Monkey Bay in the early morning to avoid the heat and large crowds.

  • Be cautious of monkeys near the cliffs; never feed them or show food in your hands.
