Yuan Beach, is three kilometres south of Had Yao (east) and five kilometres from Had Rin on the mountain path. It is one of three small, white sand beaches that are grouped together on this stretch of the east coast, the others being Had Thian and Had Wai Nam, about half a kilometre from each other. All three have long been home to escapees from Had Rin, and have a real old skool Pha Ngan vibe going on. There is a decent drop off and the absence of a coral reef allows for year round swimming in these secluded bays.

Access is only possible by boat; or for experienced walkers, there's the mountain path. The weather can get a bit rough on the east coast, so be careful not to get stranded if boats cannot run.
