Pantai Galah Beach

Pantai Galah is a small, quiet beach on Koh Lipe's less-visited northern coast, accessed via a trail from Walking Street. The sand is coarser than Pattaya or Sunrise, but the privacy makes up for it. You'll likely share the beach with a handful of people at most. The snorkeling off the rocks on either side is surprisingly good — coral formations and reef fish in waist-deep water. No shade structures, so bring your own. Best visited in the morning before the sun gets punishing.
