Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked away at the northern end of Mae Nam beach on Koh Samui, Cape Away Beach Bar offers a laid-back waterfront setting that draws both tourists and locals looking for casual dining and drinks away from the island's busier tourist hubs. The combination of beach proximity, a relaxed bar atmosphere, and consistent food quality has earned it a strong reputation among visitors across hundreds of reviews.
Guests can expect an unhurried, informal experience with the water as a backdrop — well-suited to long lunches, sundowner drinks, or evening meals. The venue operates as both a restaurant and bar, making it equally appropriate for families after a beach session, couples seeking a relaxed dinner spot, or solo travelers wanting a low-key place to eat and unwind. The kitchen and bar run seven days a week from 10am to 10pm, offering flexibility across meal times.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
