The Beach With The Dreamy Sandbar
If you’ve seen a picture of that Thai beach with the dreamy sandbar and wondered where it is.. this is it. North Point Beach (also known as Bulow Beach) is one of the reasons that Koh Lipe has been called the Maldives of Thailand.
Powdery white sands meet crystal clear waters, and a natural lagoon that’s great for snorkelling. From the beach there are also stunning views across to nearby Koh Adang and its jungle-clad hills. What’s not to like?
Things to Do at North Point Beach
- Soak up the location and its incredible surroundings.. this is paradise as many people imagine it
