A narrow beach and cape on the coast west of Koh Samui, facing the Gulf of Thailand and backed by coconut palms. Known for calm water and a good sunset view toward the mainland. Low key and local in character with no entry fee. Accessible by taxi from Nathon pier on Koh Samui's west coast — allow 10–15 minutes from the pier.
