The most popular beach in Koh Lanta. Klong Dao Beach is a children-friendly beach thanks to its shallow water, low tides and spotless sand and is perfect for swimming. When the sea level is lower, the stretch of the beach widens and becomes great for beach side sports such as volleyball-it also forms a great natural morning running track. The 3-km beach is currently one of the most developed beaches on the island now-the number of high-end resorts has increased in recent years, joining the family owned bungalows and other middle-range and budget hotels.  Twenty of the largest and most well known resorts, many with air-conditioned bungalows, swimming pools and hot water are dotted along this beach, interspersed with charming, inexpensive Thai-Style bungalows.
