Most beautiful beach during our Thailand vacation. Not overcrowded, no rubbish, light soft sand, crystal clear water - ideal for snorkeling.

Such a stunning little beach! Clear water, soft sand, and amazing views. It's a bit hidden and feels more private than other spots. Great for swimming, snorkeling, or just chilling. Totally worth the trip!
