  • 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
