Fodor's Expert Review Klong Dao Beach

Klong Dao Beach is a 2-km-long (1-mile-long) beach on the northern coast of Lanta Yai, the larger of the two islands that comprise Koh Lanta. Most resorts along Klong Dao are larger facilities catering to families and couples looking for a quiet environment. The water is shallow but swimmable, and at low tide the firm, exposed sand is ideal for long jogs on the beach. Amenities: food and drink; toilets. Best for: sunset; swimming; walking.
