Introduction

Hat Sai Daeng

Hat Sai Daeng is a gorgeous, secluded cove on the southern end of Koh Tao - a true island paradise. After a bumpy ride from the town, your vehicle turns onto the steep entrance to this beach. For a moment, you wonder if you're actually on a roller coaster. The road is THAT steep! But your eyes sweep upwards and out on the breathtaking view - deep blue water, soaring palms, and Shark Island just offshore. If you're looking for a private place to relax, read a book, and snorkel right off the beach, then Hat Sai Daeng is an ideal choice.

There are only two resorts on this beach: Coral View Resort and Haad Sai Daeng Resort. Both resorts rent diving and snorkeling gear. They also offer diving classes and diving and snorkeling trips.
