This beach is truly stunning, with its picturesque scenery and serene atmosphere. However, it left me feeling melancholic as I couldn't help but notice the impact of human activity on the environment. It's disheartening to witness the destruction caused by commercialization and the lack of responsibility taken by those who profit from it. It's a shame that such a natural wonder isn't being preserved and protected by those who benefit from it.

This serene stretch of sand stands apart from the bustling beaches of Ķoh Larn. The crystalline seawater shimmers with a captivating beauty that is simply breathtaking.

For those seeking a more serene seaside experience, this beach proves to be a superior alternative to the bustling main beach. However, as with all beaches on Koh Larn, the cost of food may be a tad steep. This particular beach appears to be a hub for those keen on snorkeling or even diving, as evidenced by the presence of several diving and snorkeling tours that make a stop here.

In comparison to Pattaya Beach, I find this beach more appealing. The water is crystal clear and the atmosphere is less congested with fewer boats and jetskis. Additionally, the availability of affordable food and beverages adds to the overall experience. This beach is an ideal spot for families seeking a fun-filled day out.

The sand on this beach is incredibly fine and white, with a texture that resembles powder. Despite its undeniable beauty, visitors should be aware that this is a popular tourist destination where everything comes with a price tag. Fortunately, I had the advantage of knowing someone in the area who was able to show me some of the most stunning and secluded spots on the beach.
