What’s on Loh Moo Dee Beach?
Loh Moo Dee Beach is a 400m long beach with white coarse sand, crystal clear water, and a quiet atmosphere. The shore has some trees along the shore, so you can have some natural shade.
There is a small beach bar at the middle section of the beach. The beach bar only serves drinks and beach chairs, no food. They also have showers and toilets for their customers.
If you buy drinks from the bar, you can use their beach chairs for free. The soft drink is 80-100 baht, while beer is around 120 baht. There are no other facilities on the beach, so I recommend you bring your own snacks, and a beach towel to the beach.
The beach is cleaner at the central section where the bar is located. There was some trash at the beginning of the beach, and I saw a visitor collecting it. Despite the presence of washed-up debris, you can still enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and crystal-clear turquoise water.
