Kantiang Bay, Ko Lanta

Although the beach was empty, it was not inviting (see pictures). Visually, it was not an eye-catcher either. Maybe it was because the weather was a bit cloudy and the beach still had some moisture. At least it is a pure sandy beach with very calm water. I think it is well suited for children.

Excellent choice if you're looking to get away from the crowds. Absolutely stunning beach, just huge - with amazing soft sand. Unfortunately as with many beaches these days it falls victim to the amount of pollution we have the world over and does get a lot of washed up debris plastic. You will need your own transport - we hired a 250cc which managed fine but you might struggle on a small scooter. Couple of places down here to eat and stay. We stayed at the Bamboo Bay Resort which sounds a lot posher than it is! very happy with everything there, food was great, the rooms were good compared to Thai standards. Its all set on the side of a hill so involves a bit of uphill walking. Would definitely go back.
