What to do in Koh Samet Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Koh Samet Beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Koh Samet Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at Koh Samet Beach. See what our users think about it in the reviews section.

In most cases, the question What to do on Koh Samet Beach implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.

This stunning beach has an array of restaurants and bars that perfectly complement the lively crowds. The beach is dotted with charming flea market stalls, adding to its unique character. It's no surprise that this beach is a popular destination, with its crystal-clear blue ocean and pristine white sand. Conveniently located near the town and ferry port, it's easily accessible for visitors. However, it's important to note that shade is scarce and beach umbrella rentals are limited. Be sure to pack your sunglasses and sunscreen for a day of fun in the sun.

Ah, the beach. A strip of sand that seems to go on forever, but is so narrow you'll be rubbing elbows with your fellow beachgoers. And if you're looking for some peace and quiet, good luck. The place is packed to the brim during Chinese New Year. You'll have to trek quite a ways to find some solitude. But fear not, for there are plenty of tourist traps to keep you occupied. Shops, excursions, restaurants - you name it, they've got it. So if you're looking for a beach experience that's more like a bustling city, this is the place for you.

The beach offers of a pristine shoreline adorned with fine, powdery sand that feels soft to the touch. The crystal-clear waters are a sight to behold, reflecting the brilliant blue sky and fluffy white clouds that hover above. Despite its undeniable beauty, the beach is not overrun by crowds, allowing for a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. There are numerous restaurants along the shore, providing ample options for a delicious meal. One can even sit back and sip on an aromatic Americano coffee while taking in the stunning scenery. This is the perfect place to escape from the stresses of everyday life and bask in the simple pleasures that nature has to offer.

The primary beach is bustling with numerous day visitors, but you can escape the hustle and bustle by renting a scooter and exploring the island. To truly experience the beauty of the place, consider staying a few nights.
