Visitor Reviews
A very calm and almost empty beach with a special atmosphere. Time feels slower here. When I was standing by the water, I looked at my phone — it was 22:23 here and already 23:23 in the next city. Repeating numbers, like a reminder of movement and change. Sometimes in quiet places like this, the sea speaks to you through small signs.
Really beautiful beach that I plan to return to soon. Not just the beautiful layout, but lounge chairs and good vibe on top of a nice location. Water is great, with a peaceful small break, the sand is clean and nice to walk and spread a towel out, and you can rent a lounge. Very comfortable.
Beautiful beach where you can see how thai people are enjoying a perfect leasure day by the sea. Must discover this litle paradise.

Check Monsoon Seasons
The Andaman coast (Phuket, Krabi) has rough seas from May to October. The Gulf coast (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan) is roughest from October to December. Plan your island-hopping around these windows.
Snorkel Gear Is Cheap to Buy
Rental gear is often scratched and ill-fitting. Buy a decent mask and snorkel at a Tesco Lotus or Big C for 300–500 THB — cheaper than two days of rentals and much more hygienic.
Book Ferries on 12Go.Asia
The 12Go platform lets you compare ferry operators, times, and prices between islands. Book a day or two ahead in high season. Avoid the cheapest operators if reviews mention safety concerns.
