Beaches – We Recommend
Most beaches have white sand and are fringed with coconut palms. Many resorts and hotels are located just a couple of meters from the beach. The most popular beaches are:
Chaweng Beach
A 7 km long beach in the North-East of Samui. The most well-known and developed, but also one of the best. For many visitors to Koh Samui Chaweng is perfect – full of activities, water sport rentals, get a massage on the beach, eat lunch outdoors or just enjoy a cocktail or two.
Lamai Beach
Not far as long as Chaweng but more quite and some people would say charming. The Southern part of the beach is somehow more inviting than the Northern, because there are not so much stones and corals there.
