The beach is quite lovely, but it tends to get crowded. However, it's definitely worth checking out while you're on your trip to Ko Hong. Grab a fruit shake and take in the scenery! There's a small area for snorkeling, but it can get quite crowded. If you want to avoid the crowds, I recommend renting a private tour, either a speed boat or a long tail, and heading out early in the morning before 10 am on a weekday. It's not too pricey, and you'll have more flexibility with your trip.

This beach is a great spot for photography enthusiasts and the water is crystal clear, making it perfect for snorkelling. The island boasts two beaches in close proximity. However, the washrooms are in dire need of maintenance and cleaning.

The island is gorgeous, with crystal-clear water perfect for swimming and snorkeling, along with a stunning beach. However, due to its popularity, it can get quite crowded. Regardless, it's definitely worth checking out.

This beach is a good place to swim and snorkel, although the water doesn't quite compare to nearby Hong Island. It might be better to spend more time there instead of here. However, there are toilets and a juice bar with snacks available.

The beach on this small island is just a 30-minute speed boat ride away from Krabi. Unfortunately, the restroom facilities are in need of maintenance and there is no water available for either gender. It's best to avoid using the toilets altogether.
