This beach in Koh Tao is apparently the best according to some folks who are into accessibility, price, and convenience. It's not like you have to pay to get in, but you'll probably end up spending money at one of the resorts or bars lining the coast. But hey, at least you can enjoy the beach without having to mortgage your house or sell a kidney. Despite the winds that can make the rest of the island feel like a hurricane zone, this bay is usually calm. It's a decent spot for snorkeling and swimming in shallow water, so if you're into that sort of thing, knock yourself out. If you're looking to just chill and do nothing, then this beach is totally recommended. Especially if you're staying at one of the accommodations on the shore. Because why bother exploring the island when you can just lounge on the sand and sip a drink, am I right?
The beach is a true paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts. However, it is important to carefully select your accommodation as some areas can be quite loud. Opting for a more secluded hotel and renting a scooter can be the perfect solution for those seeking peace and tranquility, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Indulge in the ultimate relaxation experience and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this magical island.
This charming and picturesque beach is a wonderful spot to unwind and relax for a few hours. While not ideal for swimming, the breathtaking scenery is like something out of a postcard and the sparkling, transparent water will entice you to linger in the sea for hours on end, basking in the peaceful atmosphere. Upon arrival at the viewpoint, you'll have access to comfortable lounge chairs and a cozy bar/restaurant, ensuring that you have everything you need to fully enjoy your time at this lovely little hideaway.
We had a wonderful time during our stay at this beach. It's perfect for those who want to escape the busier areas. The views are amazing and the beach offers great opportunities for snorkeling. I would suggest renting a bike to easily travel between the hotel and the rest of the island, which is only about a 15-minute journey away. The breakfast is good, although the other food options could be improved. As a result, we didn't eat there for lunch or dinner very often. However, I still give it a 5 out of 5 rating due to the excellent staff and service (special shout out to Lim, who was incredibly kind), the location, and the overall experience of staying here! We would definitely come back again. We fell in love with Koh Tao and our stay at Sai Daeng.
The quaint and charming beach boasts a handful of authentic Thai eateries, serving up delectable cuisine and refreshing brews at affordable prices. The tranquil waters are shallow and serene, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing dip or a leisurely stroll along the shore.
This beach on Koh Tao is definitely one of the best spots for snorkelling. It's easily accessible by bike, and there's no entrance fee. Plus, there's shade available on the beach. The fish and coral are located in the shallow water, so you won't have to venture too far out to see them. The variety of fish and sea animals is impressive, and you could easily spend an entire day here enjoying the stunning views.
