Wave protection: A small bay between two headlands: they partly break the waves, but in the monsoon the swell still gets in, and rip currents form at the edges of the bay.
Tide impact: Moderate impact: at a strong low tide it gets shallow and rocks are exposed by the cliffs at the ends of the bay, but there is usually still a window for swimming.
Getting in and seabed: Sandy bottom with a moderate slope, easy to walk in; there are some rocks by the cliffs at the ends of the bay.
Who it suits: For those who want seclusion without crowds or big hotels: a couple of restaurants, sunbeds, peace and quiet. Decent snorkelling by the rocks at the edges of the bay.
Getting to Nai Thon Beach: A small bay north of Bang Tao and Layan, reached by a winding road from Nai Thon village. Tucked between two headlands. on the map

High and low tide: today and tomorrow

Today, October 31, you can swim at Nai Thon Beach: waves around 0.5 m, best time 07:15–14:00.

Today, October 31, low tide is at 07:00 and 19:00, high tide at 13:00.

Today, October 31, waves up to 0.5 m — calm.

Partly: at a strong low tide getting into the water is harder, so it’s more comfortable to swim closer to high tide.

In the rainy season (May–October) rip currents are possible — swim between the flags.
