White Sand Beach (Haad Sai Kao), A long beach with powdery white sand and perfectly safe swimming conditions, the island’s prime piece of real estate and relaxation boasts an incredible range of accommodation. You can have all the luxury and amenities you want, but still enjoy the idyllic, palm-fringed beaches, and serene water. It is about 2.5 kilometres long and lined by rocks, over-hanging palms and broad-leaved trees.

Baan Haad Sai Kao, the village parallel to the beach, stretches itself almost along the entire road and is the busiest village on the island. There are many restaurants, some with European menus, bars, supermarkets, small shops and massage-shops. Besides some internet cafes there is also a bakery.
