User reviews
"The beachfront cafes and bungalows could definitely improve their cleanliness standards. It's disappointing that businesses don't invest more in keeping the area tidy, especially if they want to attract customers. It's frustrating to see so much litter and garbage piled up behind the otherwise attractive bars and restaurants."
Natalya Ivanova
"My favorite beach in Ko Samui is probably this one. It boasts a stunning 7 kilometer stretch of white sand lined with coconut trees. The sea is generally calm, making it perfect for swimming. Walking along the beach is a pleasant experience. There are a few restaurants on the beach, some of which offer beach loungers for relaxation. Behind the beach lies the charming village..."
