Sairee Beach
Sairee Beach is the most famous and, at 1.7 km, the longest beach on Koh Tao's west coast. Along the promenade is the tourist center of the island with a Walking Street full of stores, pubs and restaurants. It can get loud and hectic here, especially in the evening. During the day, the town offers the perfect beach day: Long walks through the white sand, shady palm trees and crystal-clear water create a relaxed atmosphere. There are also a few restaurants and beach bars on the beach, where things liven up again towards evening. To the south, Sairee Beach borders Mae Haad, the island's main town and ferry station. In the far north is the pretty Koh Tao Cabana Resortª with individual bungalows and beach villas whose style blends harmoniously into the overall picture.
TipSairee Beach is an anchor point for many cab boats that take you comfortably around the entire island - ideal for snorkeling trips to hidden bays that are difficult to access by land! You can also take a trip from here to Koh Nang Yuan a beautiful group of islands in the northeast of Koh Tao. Simply speak to one of the boat guides and negotiate a good daily price (from 300 THB upwards, depending on how many stops you plan).
