This particular beach is a well-kept secret that offers an idyllic setting for watching the sunset. It's a peaceful spot where you can lounge all day without any interruptions. Plus, there's a convenient minimart nearby where you can grab refreshments and snacks. The sand is exceptionally fine, although some might argue that it's a double-edged sword.

2 Very poor

The beach area on Samui is not particularly attractive due to the abundance of dead coral and rocky terrain. Nonetheless, it offers a great vantage point for catching a beautiful sunset.

Undoubtedly, Koh Samui boasts of having one of the finest beaches around. While it may not be the ideal spot for swimming due to low tide, the crystal clear water and abundance of fish make it a must-visit destination. To top it off, the beach is relatively secluded, with only a handful of visitors, making it a serene and peaceful spot to unwind. Moreover, the entrance to the beach is a bit tricky, which adds to the charm of the place. If you prefer a tranquil environment over a party scene, this is the perfect spot for you.
