Beach
Kantiang Bay
The best beach on Koh Lanta's south coast: a deep curve of sand, two beach bars and a headland that blocks the afternoon wind.

It is the most sheltered and swimmable beach on the island, and the one place where the sunset is worth planning dinner around. Small enough that you recognise people by day two.
How to visit it well
- The southern end is quieter and has better snorkelling at the rocks.
- Swim between the flags in high season; there is a current off the headland.
- Book dinner at a beachfront table before sunset.
