White Sand Beach (Hat Sai Khao)

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

The longest, most luxurious stretch of sand on the island, Hat Sai Khao is universally known as White Sand Beach, a developed strip packed with package-tour hotels and serious sunbathers. Head to the north section of the beach to find the more secluded backpacker spot. Along the main road, the village is busy and brash – but comes with all the necessary amenities.
