Castaway Restaurant Koh Lipe

Morning to moonlight, this is where Sunrise Beach barely feels real. Castaway’s beachfront restaurant sits right on the sand, with palm shade, sea breeze and that turquoise view rolling in. Wander up barefoot and grab a table on the deck or a low table on the beach — you’ll be close enough to hear the longtails purr past. The kitchen covers the island basics done well: Thai curries and stir‑fries, grilled seafood, crisp salads and easy Western comfort when you need it. Mornings run on strong coffee, fruit shakes and egg plates; later it’s ice‑cold beers and simple beach cocktails to go with a plate of pad kra pao or a whole fish off the grill. Portions are fair, service is friendly, and walk‑ins are welcome even if you’re not staying at the resort. Come early for a sunrise swim and breakfast, or roll in late afternoon when the heat eases and the beach turns golden. Open daily 7am–11pm, Castaway is an easy choice when you want to eat with your toes in the sand on Koh Lipe’s most photogenic stretch.
