Latest reviews on Ko Muk island's beaches

Pearl Beach
10 Aurora Sanchez Garcia

This is the top beach on the island, with crystal clear water and pristine white sand. However, low tides can be a common occurrence. Nevertheless, the beach remains stunning despite this.

Garnet Beach
10 Lila Rivers

This is a great beach to visit, especially during low tide when it's perfect for swimming. There are two restaurants on the beach that offer tasty food and drinks at reasonable prices. You may even encounter some friendly dogs while you're there! The sunsets are particularly stunning, and we spent three days enjoying them in 2022. While it was busier than Pearl Beach, there were still only around 10 people there during the day and 40 Thai tourists for the sunset.

Sabai beach
8 Lena J.

While trekking through the lush Koh Mook Jungle, we stumbled upon a tranquil and serene beach. However, it is important to keep in mind that due to its remote location, there may be an abundance of litter scattered along the shore.

Pearl Beach II

The view is beautiful, but there are too many sandflies...the itchiness becomes unbearable after these small creatures bite you silently.
