Getting to the beach
When you arrive to Koh Lipe with the speedboat or the ferry you will normally not be taken all the way to the beach, because of the shallow water around the island. The speedboat or ferry will anchor at a floating platform about 100 meters from the beach. Here you will be picked up by longtail boats that will take you the rest of the way to the beach. Please note that they will charge 50 THB per person to take you the rest of the way to the beach (The 50 THB is not included in your boat ticket). The money goes to the protecting the national park.
