Ao Kiu Na Nok

Tucked away at the southern tip of Koh Samet, Ao Kiu Na Nok is a quieter alternative to the island's more popular beaches, attracting travellers who prefer a relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere. Its position away from the main tourist strip gives it a more natural, unhurried character, making it a appealing stop for those exploring the full length of the island. Visitors can expect a peaceful stretch of sand with relatively calm waters, typical of Koh Samet's sheltered eastern-facing coastline. The beach is accessible throughout the day and into the evening, with no formal closing hours, allowing guests to enjoy both daytime swimming and quieter sunset hours. The surrounding landscape retains a more natural feel compared to the island's northern beaches, which tend to be busier with resort infrastructure. Getting to Ao Kiu Na Nok requires a bit more effort than reaching central Koh Samet beaches, as it sits at the far southern end of the island — either a longer walk or a short songthaew or boat ride from the main pier area. Visitors should note that facilities and dining options in this area are more limited than at busier beaches, so coming prepared with water and snacks is advisable. Entry to Koh Samet falls within the Khao Laem Ya - Mu Ko Samet National Park, so a park entry fee applies for non-Thai visitors.
