Vacation on Ko Tao Island beaches - hidden bays, top resorts and recreation areas

Ko Tao has a famous beach resort of international scale; we are talking about the exclusive village of Mae Haad. Despite its modest size and charm of past centuries, it differs with literally ideal infrastructure; it’s home to upscale diving centers, sports shops, upmarket hotels, restaurants and nightclubs. The resort will suit fans of outdoor activities, which in addition to beach activities will be able to diversify their leisure with interesting events.

In walking distance from the resort village there is the biggest and the most beautiful place on the island, Sairee Beach. Its length is 1.7 kilometers; the beach is covered with white sand and is the most popular holiday destination in the eyes of foreigners. Sairee differs much from classic beach resorts. Here, in addition to numerous sports facilities, restaurants and other beach facilities you can find a few interesting sights and the museum dedicated to fishing. Right on the beach there is one of the public schools, as well as an ancient temple. This large-scale beach is suitable for various activities; fans of hiking and sightseeing like to spend time there.

Another attractive holiday destination is June Juea Beach; you can reach it by land or by water. Conventionally, the extensive beach area is divided into two resort areas, each of which features very calm and peaceful atmosphere. Here you can have a great time with your family or go sunbathing in private ambience. June Juea Beach is ideal for organizing a commemorative photo shoot. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

One of the most secluded beaches on the island is Jed Ganges situated at the cape of the same name. This picturesque stretch of coastline can be reached only by boat; there are several miniature hotel complexes next to the shore. Vacationers are rare at Jeda Gang, so this beautiful stretch of coast fits perfectly for unity with nature.

Active travelers prefer to go for vacations to Tanote Bay. It’s home to a wide array of diving centers, here is the major water sports center. Not only divers and athletes, but also fans of snorkeling like resting there, as the seabed here is incredibly beautiful. Near the harbor there are several resorts, but even at the height of the tourist season the number of tourists here is relatively small.

One of the most popular holiday destinations for divers remains Hin Wong Beach, which is famous for its incredibly beautiful coral reefs. Here there is a great diving school, so vacations at the resort will be interesting for both beginners and experienced divers. Nearby there is the picturesque coast of Ao Lek, which was long chosen by fans of snorkeling. Beaches here aren’t too deep, and there is a huge number of exotic colorful fish at the coastal waters.

Sandy Sai Daeng Beach is equally in demand among divers and tourists who prefer to spend hours sunbathing at the coast. Trips to the nearby Shark Island are arranged there. Tian Og located in the picturesque bay is notable among luxury beach resorts. Currently this bay is privately owned. Guests of the high-end resort could try diving school, spa and services of the upscale hotel.
