With its wild, peaceful, atypical, or family-friendly beaches, Koh Phangan will for sure meet your needs! So here is a selection of the 7 most beautiful beaches not to miss during your trip to Koh Phangan.
Top 7 Most Beautiful Beaches in Koh Phangan
Number 7: Haad Salad, an exotic beach
Located in the northwest of the island, Haad Salad beach will seduce you with its exotic and paradisiacal decor. Fine white sand, coconut trees, and emerald green water are the perfect recipe for a wonderful time in the tropics!
Very pleasant to swim, it is also well-known for its coral reef which makes it an excellent spot for diving and snorkeling as well!
Number 6: Haad Khom, a peaceful beach
If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful beach, go to the beautiful Haad Khom beach.
Located in the north of Koh Phangan, this charming beach is ideal for relaxing in peace. We like its unique water with different shades of blue, its rocks, and its wild vegetation.
Also, this is one of the few places on the island where you can see some long-tailed macaques!
Number 5: Haad Than Sadet, the wild one
Located in the east of the island within the national park of the same name, Than Sadet beach offers wild scenery that we never tire of.
Nestled between an emerald green sea, surrounded by lush vegetation, and bordered by impressive rocks, this beach is well worth a visit.
Please note: the entrance to Than Sadet National Park has an entrance fee. On top of the access to the beach, the entrance fee also includes access to its waterfall, famous for being the bathing place of Thai kings (including Rama V) who have left a trace of their passage by engraving their initials on the rock.
Number 4: Haad Mae Had, the unusual one
Located in the northwest of the island, this is one of the most atypical beaches of Koh Phangan: Haad Mae Had.
Its originality lies in the fact that it is located near an islet, called Koh Ma. Indeed, it is accessible on foot by crossing a strip of sand that is revealed only at low tide.
Haad Mae Had is also known for its seabed to discover by snorkeling or scuba diving. You can also rent kayaks to explore the area.
Number 3: Haad Khuad or Bottle Beach, the isolated one
This is the most isolated beach in our selection! And for good reason, Haad Khuad (better known as Bottle Beach) is a beach that must be deserved!
Indeed, it can be reached after a trek in the jungle. Located in the north of the island, the hiking trail is near Haad Khom and takes about 1h30 to reach.
For the less athletic, no worries, it is also possible to reach the beach by boat (cab boat). And to vary the pleasures, why not plan to go by trek and return by boat?
Number 2: Thong Nai Pan Yai and Thong Nai Pan Noi, the family-friendly beaches
If you are looking for a quiet family-friendly beaches during your stay on Koh Phangan, head to the two large bays nearby: Thong Nai Pan Yai and Thong Nai pan Noi.
These beautiful beaches are good for swimming and are relatively quiet due to their isolated location in the northeast of the island.
The small picturesque village near Thong Nai pan Noi is also a favorite, where you will find some stores and restaurants.
Number 1: Hin Kong, an authentic beach
We finish with an authentic beach: the bay of Hin Kong. So, it is not the ideal place to swim but it is rather the ideal spot to admire the sunset.
And for good reason, in addition to its location in the west, the shallow water creates a very striking mirror effect when the sunsets. A show signed by Mother Nature not to be missed under any circumstances!
Finally, unlike most of the island’s beaches, you will come across many locals who come here to relax but also to collect crabs and shells during low tides.
