This beach is certainly peaceful, but it's not without its flaws. While there's only one resort here, it's definitely on the fancier side compared to the nearby options. However, getting here can be quite a hassle - half of the access road from Kwang Pao Beach is unpaved and hilly. Though, I suppose it's a relief that a regular car can manage it. Despite all that, the beach itself is in decent shape.

The beach is a true gem, with its stunning beauty and peacefulness. However, reaching this hidden paradise requires a bit of an adventurous spirit as the road leading to it is not for the faint of heart. Nonetheless, the journey is worth it as you will be rewarded with a serene and secluded spot to soak up the sun and bask in the tranquility of nature.
