Tide today
Knee-deep on the coconut. The water is going out: low tide at 20:47.
Today: low tide at 20:47, high tide at 12:26.
The tide here
It gets deep within a couple of steps, so you can swim at low tide too, unlike the flat west and south coasts.
About the beach
A small cove, some two hundred metres, on the east coast below the Than Sadet waterfalls. The stream from the falls splits the beach in two, and the cascades are a short walk upstream. The sand is coarse and pebbly, hard on bare feet; big boulders at both ends.
Few people; one or two small cafes and a few simple bungalows on the slopes. It faces east, to the sunrise. Next door, a short walk over a footbridge, is the even quieter Haad Thong Reng, where the swimming is poorer.
Getting there
About 16–17 km from Thong Sala: north from Ban Tai on the cross-island road, then east down to the park. The road is concrete and asphalt now as far as a car park by the beach, then a few minutes on foot; some stretches are steep.
Good to know
- Entry to the national park area is 100 baht a person, cash, by day (roughly 8:30 to 4–4:30 pm)
- The waves depend on the weather and can be bigger than on the west coast: stay out in a storm and in the monsoon
- Snorkelling is modest: no reef in the bay, a little life by the rocks at the ends
- Pebbles in the first steps into the water: water shoes help
