Ao Bang Bao Beach
หาดบางเบ้า
A long bay of fine white sand on the southwest coast, with lagoons and shallows, a cluster of resorts and the island's main holiday hub.
Ao Bang Bao is one of the island's most concentrated accommodation beaches, with fine white sand and shallow, clear water. On the lagoon side, mangroves and sandbars often form, and in the evening you can walk along the sand to watch the sunset. There is a speedboat pier nearby. Speedboats from Laem Sok Pier in Trat take about an hour to reach the island, and many hotels offer pier transfers. Restaurants and convenience stores are relatively well stocked, making it a good base.
