Malibu Beach is in the northern part of the island, in a small fishing village called Chaloklum. The village is a place of settlement for locals and a particularly quiet corner of the island. The beach strip is located on the southern side of the village, at the end of the fishing and shipping bay and near the river that crosses the village. You can reach the beach by a short drive from the village or by boat from nearby beaches. When you arrive you will have to cross the famous bungalow resort and also a bridge that goes over the river, but it is totally worth the effort.
What to do
Despite the great popularity of the beach, everyone will be able to find a secluded corner as it is relatively long and extends over a strip of land of about 3 km. With soft white sand, many palm trees that shade the vacationers and shallow turquoise water, the beach can be an attraction For everyone - couples, solo travelers and the whole family. You can swim, play in the sand, sunbathe and play volleyball. If you want to pamper yourself more, there is a small massage parlor, next to the local restaurant, which charges 300 baht per hour for a pleasant full body massage.
As mentioned, the beach is part of a traditional Thai fishing village so this is also an experience in itself. It is possible and recommended to walk around its streets, visit the authentic local market and enjoy fresh seafood, caught from the sea that day.
what to eat
If we have already mentioned foods, to have something to snack on in front of the view, you can order food and drinks from a charming Thai restaurant located on the premises. The menu offers a large selection of dishes - fried fish, noodle bowls, pizzas, pastas, sandwiches and also ice creams, cut fruits and various desserts. The prices in the restaurant are completely reasonable. There is a nice bar on the roof of the restaurant, from where you can look out over the area and enjoy a cool drink.
The restaurant also has bathrooms where you can wash yourself before or after the dip. It should be noted that the beach does not have sunbeds, chairs or towels for rent, so you will have to stock up in advance.
where to sleep
Most travelers choose to go to the beach for a day trip or as part of a beach tour of the island by boat or motorcycle. If you still want to sleep in the beach area, the only place to stay is Malibu Beach Bungalows, the famous resort after which the beach is named. The hotel is run by an old Thai family in the village and offers luxurious holiday cabins surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens. The place has an outdoor pool, a restaurant and access to a private beach. All bungalows include a fan or air conditioning to choose from. Each pavilion has a large balcony, an attached bathroom and a wooden patio at the entrance. At the hotel spa, guests can relax in the jacuzzi or enjoy a hotel massage. The front desk offers various activities on the island such as elephant rides, horse riding and diving. The prices at the hotel are average for the island and of course depend on the season (note that they go up a lot during the Full Moon parties, at the end of the calendar year).
