Koh Larn, also known as Coral Island, is a beautiful small island located in the Gulf of Thailand, about 7 km west of Pattaya city. The island is about 4 km long and only 2 km wide. Koh Larn is famous for its beautiful beaches with fine white sand, clear emerald water, and a variety of coral and marine life. The island is a great destination for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of Pattaya City.
The main attractions of Koh Larn are its beaches. There are seven main white-sand beaches and some smaller beaches to enjoy. Most touristy beaches have water sports experience areas, freshwater bathrooms, great restaurants, and beachside bars. The beaches are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling. You can also try a range of water sports, such as banana boating, jet skiing, kite surfing, windsurfing, and aragliding. Koh Larn is also a great place to enjoy freshly caught seafood. The beachfront restaurants serve a variety of delicious seafood and other dishes. The seafood here is super fresh and delicious, but a bit expensive compared to the mainland.
For those interested in exploring the island, Koh Larn is not that big, so you can explore the whole of Coral Island easily. Besides discovering the island’s best beaches, you can also visit the giant monk statue and shop at the local market. We would recommend renting a scooter and exploring the island before settling on one of the Koh Larn beaches for the rest of the day.
Overall, Koh Larn is a great destination for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The island is perfect for families, friends, and couples who want to enjoy the sun, the sea, and the sand. If you are planning to visit Pattaya, make sure to include Koh Larn in your itinerary. You won’t regret it!
