A quiet cove in the Maret area on Koh Samui's south coast, sheltered enough to keep the water calm when the east coast beaches are choppy. The sand is fine and pale, and the bay is small enough to feel private even in high season. A handful of beach bars and small resorts back the beach. Best reached by scooter or taxi from Lamai.
Highlights
Sheltered south-coast cove with calm water
Fine white sand, uncrowded by Samui standards
Beach bars and local food available
Good alternative when east coast is rough
Close to Lamai — easy half-day combination
