Why should you go there and how do you do it right?
Come for snorkeling and shade, not for a long, relaxing day on the beach. This is a small, rocky cove where coconut palms cast shade on the rather coarse, crystalline sand, not powdery white sand. Walking barefoot isn't much fun here, so bring water shoes. In return, you'll find clear water and fascinating rock formations for swimming, which you won't find on the large, flat beaches like Chaweng.
You don't need to prepare anything. Sun loungers, towels, snorkeling equipment, and kayaks are available for rent on-site, with kayak rentals costing around 300 baht per hour. Nearby, you'll find bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a cold beer or a fruit shake after swimming. The schedule is predictable: the predominantly international visitors arrive around 10:00 AM and leave again around 4:00 PM. Therefore, it's quietest in the early morning or late afternoon.
Be aware of the drawbacks. Currents and storms wash debris into the bay, and no one bothers to remove it. As a result, the coast and water look rough on some days. The toilets and food are also harshly criticized in reviews.
