This shoreline is truly remarkable. The sand is of high quality, and the water is crystal clear, albeit slightly inclined. You can rent a sunbed for only 100baht by locating the man with a small broom who prepares them. Once you've found him, pay him the fee. Food and drinks are readily available within walking distance.

Yanui Beach
10 Marenne Kline-Smith

Yanui Beach is a cherished spot of mine, as it offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. During the weekdays, the beach is not overcrowded, providing ample space to enjoy the crystal-clear waters ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. The beach offers a range of equipment, including kayaks for rent at a reasonable price of 100 baht per hour, making it convenient for visitors to explore the beautiful surroundings. Families with children can also indulge in some adventure by climbing the rock formations on the beach. To satiate your hunger pangs, you can head to one of the two Thai restaurants across the street, where you can relish some delicious food and drinks. However, it is recommended to bring your essentials as there are no convenience stores nearby. Overall, Yanui Beach is a perfect destination for a relaxing day out.
