  • Wave protection: A coral reef shelters the bay: it absorbs most of the waves, and the water near the shore is usually noticeably calmer than on the open beaches of the island's north.
  • Tide impact: The beach is very shallow: at low tide the water retreats far out, exposing the reef and rocks, and there is almost nowhere to swim. Plan your swim for the hours around high tide.
  • Getting in and seabed: Soft sand and very shallow water near the shore — easy to walk in barefoot. Further out lies the coral reef: at low tide the reef and rocks sit right at the surface, so head for deeper water at high tide.
  • Who it suits: Good for families and a relaxed day: casuarina shade, small restaurants right on the sand, an unhurried pace. A favourite with locals.
  • Getting to Nai Yang Beach: A quiet Sirinat National Park beach just south of the airport — you can watch the planes take off. The reef a couple of hundred metres offshore is a popular snorkelling spot. on the map
