Good

Quieter eastern bay — Long Beach hotels, sunrise side, longer reach by long-tail.

Long Beach (Hat Yao) curves around the south-east tip of Phi Phi Don — a string of mid-range resorts (Phi Phi Long Beach, Paradise Pearl, Phi Phi The Beach Resort) facing east toward Phi Phi Leh. Quieter, more couples-skewed, and the closest accommodation to the snorkelling reef directly off the beach. 15-min walk back to Tonsai or 100-baht long-tail.
