Also known as Phra-Ae Beach, the aptly named Long Beach is the longest beach on Ko Lanta, approximately 3 kilometres in length and is the second beach south of the pier, after Klong Dao Beach. Long Beach is beautiful, the water slightly deeper than at Klong Dao beach and there are no rocks -- just soft sand fantastic for confident swimmers. Though the entire length of the beach is great, the northern end, up next to the rocky headland is particularly cozy with some shady spots under tall casuarina trees.

The main road runs about 300m behind the beach with small roads running to the bungalows along the beach. There are plenty of shops along the road with small food stalls, a 7/11, ATM, email cafes, laundry services, motorbike hire and a couple of good restaurants.
