Beaches on Koh Chang
White Sand Beach (Had Sai Khao)
White Sand Beach is famed for delicate white sand along a 6-kilometer beach. The beach is dotted with towering palms and coconut tress. The most popular beach in the island, it is not surprising to see a wide variety of resorts and bungalows lining behind the trees.
At night White Sand Beach is illuminated with lights from restaurants, pubs and bars that are located along its beachside road. There are plenty of grocery stores, car and motorbike rental shops and petrol stations.
Klong Prao Beach (Had Klong Prao)
Klong Prao Beach, which means the bay of coconuts, derives its name from a number of coconut trees found along its beach. This beach begins at Chaiyachet Cape, which offers a good viewpoint of the island at sunset. The beach is less crowded than White Sand Beach and suitable for swimming and water sports. People staying on this beach can rent a bicycle or take a minibus to Klong Plu Waterfall which is only 3 kilometers from the beach. Accommodations on this beach are simple. Most of them nestle among dotting trees.
Kai Bae Beach (Had Kai Bae)
Kai Bae Beach is about 15 kilometres from Klong Prao Beach. It is a popular place among foreign tourists who come here for sunbathing. The beach has a slight slope into the sea that is favourable for swimming. Tourists who want to visit neighbouring islands such as Koh Yuak, Koh Man Nok and Koh Man Nai can hop in a boat from this beach. Kai Bae Beach is more colourful at night with restaurants and pubs vying for customers. For those who enjoy seafood, there are many seafood restaurants overlooking the beach. Accommodations here come in different styles from basic to luxury.
Long Beach (Had Sai Yao)
Long Beach is at the south-east corner of Koh chang, good spot for swimming and soaking up a few rays.
Klong Son Bay (Ao Klong Son)
Klong Son Bay is located on the north of Koh Chang. Nice bay at the very top of the island. Pure white sand stretch of beach, shaded with coconut trees.
