Rin Nai Beach (West) , is split into two halves by a small rocky foothill, thus the southern section is accessed from the pier side of Had Rin town and the northern section can be reached from the main road at the bottom of the Had Rin hills. Both sections of the beach are similar, with sunset views, long stretches of white sand and the odd mangrove on the coastline. The beach is not very wide if the tide is in, and the southern section is not great for sunbathing as it's home to Had Rin Pier and debris clutters the beach in places. The coral reef that lays along the southern facing coast of the island starts here, thus in low tidal season (April to November) swimming on the beach side of the reef is not always possible.

Haad Rin Nai (Sunset Beach) is more peaceful and the resorts more reasonably priced, but the beach is not anywhere near as pretty.
