Flat and shallow water. Very clear and beautiful. Also known as 'Shark Bay', so expect some bigger fish on the reef.

One of the most unspoilt beaches on Koh Tao. Sandy beach, about 50 m wide and 200 m long. Pretty difficult to lauch a kite. Wild grass, coconut palms and tropical vegetation creeps up upon the beach and makes for an absolutely idyllic scene.
