Between Ya Nui, Nai HArn and Ao Sane Beaches, the last is probably the favorite of most people who visit the tree neighboring stretches of sand. Yes, it’s rocky, but is is also peaceful. Trees providing shade from the intense sun. The waters are perfect for snorkelling and diving. Despite the presence of some bungalows and a restaurant the beach manages to look wild and untamed. And the food at the restaurants is pretty good too. It’s a fair claim to make that during the high seasons, more people return eagerly to this beach than they do to the two others. You can rent snorkeling gear at Armin’s Dive Shop.

• Get to Nai Harn Beach. Follow the road from the north end of Nai Harn Beach on foot.
