Ko Kradan island - all beaches

We are completely taken aback to witness the extensive construction taking place on this island. It's truly disheartening to see such development occurring here. Shouldn't this place be designated as a national park? Why couldn't they just maintain the modest bamboo tables instead of constructing a concrete pathway on the beach? It seems like they are preparing for a wave of mass tourism that won't prioritize the preservation of nature. It makes us wonder who is benefiting from this construction. Additionally, there are certain areas on the beach where it is advisable to wear shoes to avoid stepping on sharp debris from the construction site.

We didn't stay overnight, but we specifically visited for the beach. Both this beach and its smaller counterpart are the finest ones on the island. The simple restaurant serves basic dishes, and while the staff may be a bit slow, they are incredibly helpful and friendly. This may not be immediately apparent at first glance.

This beach is absolutely stunning and offers a sense of tranquility, with a fantastic vantage point from above and a few short hikes through the lush jungle.

This beach boasts a natural setting, but the sand is quite coarse and there are many rocks. Access to the beach is via a small jungle path that starts about 20 meters north of the mobile phone mast. To get there, walk right on the property line on the well-kept lawn to the back to the forest. Unfortunately, there is a lot of plastic waste on the beach. The path is only recommended if you want to see the original jungle, but be sure to bring a stick to clear spider webs and watch out for the approximately 10cm long centipedes, as they supposedly have a very painful bite. Alternatively, you can take the direct path from Sunset Beach to the KBR to avoid the jungle path and also see the local garbage disposal.
