Beaches on Koh Tao

Visit the best beaches on Koh Tao. Swim in crystal clear waters, sink into white sands, soak up the sun, and relax surrounded by nature.

No tropical paradise island getaway is complete without a few days lazing your cares away on the beach. Take in the sounds of the ocean, sip on a cocktail or fresh coconut, swim and snorkel around the shallow coral reefs, and dry off under the cool sea breeze provided by gently swaying palm trees. 

There are so many beaches on Koh Tao to choose from, and we hope you’ll have time to explore them all during your stay. You’ll find rental services at all of the beaches in populated areas if you don’t have your own mask and snorkel. Some beaches even offer kayak and paddleboard rental. 

Please note that access fees apply at some beaches on Koh Tao, so we recommend carrying some change with you when you visit.

Remote Beaches on Koh Tao

Want to get away from it all and get a patch of golden sand all to yourself? At some of these remote beaches on Koh Tao, that’s definitely possible! Not all are accessible by road, so some require a longtail taxi or hike to reach. But we think you’ll find the effort worth it.
