Ko Hin Ngam
เกาะหินงาม
A small island whose entire beach is made of smooth black pebbles. Legend says whoever takes a stone will be cursed, and it is a signature stop on island-hopping tours.
Ko Hin Ngam, meaning 'Beautiful Stone Island,' lies southwest of Ko Adang. It has no sand. The whole beach is made of black pebbles polished smooth by the waves, which clink crisply as the water recedes. Local legend says that anyone who takes a stone will be plagued by misfortune, and the national park strictly prohibits removing stones. Visitors often stack stones into small towers to photograph. A stop usually lasts 20–30 minutes, and there is coral in the shallows for snorkeling.
