👍👍 The most beautiful beach we have found in Phangan Very remote and we were alone until the afternoon. Lovely little family run restaurant by the beach with pretty good food and drinks. I think it's also a hotel?! Just stunning

Scenic, peaceful beach featuring soft white sand & clear, shallow waters for swimming & snorkeling.

Low-key white-sand beach in a tranquil setting offering snorkel & umbrella rentals, plus dining.

👍👍 This was an incredibly awesome trip! It's totally worth it to go for a round trip including also monkey beach. The beach by itself is very nice but its shame to see some plastic bottles or thrash there. Monkeys are mostly absolutely chilled but we saw some tourists getting too close to them (or goi...

👍👍 A good beach, I like it, but my husband does not, because it is shallow. To get to the depth, you have to go a long way. But those with children are very good. There are always free sun loungers of resorts or cafes. Where can I sit and order drinks from them. Or you can sit on your own towels, as yo...

👍 Beautiful beach with free access. There is a plenty of shade. The snorkelling wasn’t so good. A lot of dead corals. When we were there the water wasn’t clear too, so wasn’t a great visibility. We saw the usual parrot fishes and trigger fish too.

Popular tree-lined beach with bath facilities & recreational activities like boating & bicycling.

👍👍 Highly recommend!!! Next to the beach, very clean, peaceful, having local restaurant next door with great taste and fresh seafood. The beach is clean and the sea is clear. The small shop and restaurant are next to the resort. If you like the calming and local vibe of house and beach, drive far 140 k...

Long, relaxed beach with shallow surf, tree-shaded areas & nearby bars, restaurants & resorts.

👍👍 This was our favorite beach of all of Koh Kood. Do not miss out on coming here if you are on this island. Clear waters, with a long stretch of shallow water. Cute little white fishes in the water and tiny hermit crabs running around. Clean beach with plenty of shade from palm trees. There’s at least...
