To experience the real beauty of it, go there as early as possible in the morning

I don't know where all the rave reviews come from. Despite the relative difficulty of getting there—it takes about 15 minutes by boat from the boat station—the beach is cut off from any road junctions and is accessible only by boat. Both beaches are extremely dirty, littered with plastic, trash, and other modern delights. The water is murky, making it unpleasant to be there. While you can certainly take great photos, there's not much else to do there. There are so many tourists, there's no room to wander off along the paths. Overall, I prefer Karon Beach. But as they say, tastes differ.
