Ao Tapao Beach
อ่าวตะเภา
Often ranked the most beautiful beach on Koh Kood, with fine white sand, a long wooden jetty, and full sunsets facing west.
Ao Tapao lies on the mid-north stretch of the west coast. Its roughly 1 km curve of white sand meets calm, clear water, ideal for swimming and snorkeling. A wooden jetty reaching out from the middle of the bay is the classic spot for sunset photos. Several resorts and seaside restaurants line the shore, and non-guests can enjoy the public areas. It's about a 10-minute motorbike ride from Khlong Chao Village. There's no public transport on the island, so rent a motorbike or arrange a ride through your hotel. Waves can get big in the rainy season, so take care.
