Pearl Beach is a famous rocky beach in Koh Chang, the largest island in Thailand. There is no soft sandy stretch of beach here, but only a rugged seashore with boulders, rocks, cobbles and pebbles. Also, there is little scope for beach activities as the rocky shoreline could make walking the coast or wading into the gentle waves challenging. Nonetheless, the view overlooking the Gulf of Thailand is just as mesmerising.

Lonely beach is another beach attraction in Koh Chang, Thailand. It was once a popular beach destination for backpackers and had only one small complex of bungalows for tourists. But, in the past few years, the place has developed and become more commercialised. There are hotels and resorts located at close distances from the beach. Although the beach is not wide enough, the shore is quite long, with soft sands leading into the backwaters. Contrary to its name, Lonely Beach is also well-known as a party beach.
