Lonely Beach Overview
A breakdown of Lonely Beach
Although surrounded by the rocky landscape, there is still a strip of decent sandy beach in this area where visitors can participate in all sorts of beach activities. Fringed by overhanging palm trees, the beach affords a stunning view of the jungle-clad mountains in the background. The beach is wide, clean and safe, making it perfect for family to relax or have a picnic. It’s possible to visit Lonely Beach at any time of the year, but it’s most beautiful (not to mention pleasant weather) towards the end of the year from October to around April/May.
Beach Vendors
0
Don’t be surprised if a horde of vendors hauling a bagful of knick-knacks makes a beeline for you as soon as you sit down on the beach. Among the most common stuff they’re selling are jewel accessories, hand-made bracelets and anklets, scarves, paintings, clothing items and customized Koh Chang souvenirs. Remember to bargain as these are often overpriced. If you’re not interested in buying any of their wares, a simple and polite ‘no, thank you’ (with a smile) would do the job. If the nagging persists, just ignore them.
Beach Activities
0
Other than swimming, bathing and sand castle building (for kids, of course), a game of Frisbee, volleyball and football can also be had right on the beach, especially when the tide is low. Feeling tense and tight in the muscles? Many small huts along the beach usually offer massage services. The most common ones include the traditional Thai massage and foot massage. Prices range from 200 to 300 baht. Kayaking and canoeing are also available at a small fee.

The beach itself has the usual concentration of restaurants, cafés, deck chairs and beach towels, which are offered by beachside hotels and resorts.
