Sai Nuan beach
The calm atmosphere of Sai Nuan Beach, a southwestern landmark of Ko Tao, makes it a safe haven from the hustle and bustle of the civilized world. The only way to get here is on foot or by long tail boat, so vacationers won't hear the noise of cars.

Beach description
This corner of untouched nature with snow-white fine sand, turquoise lagoon and coconut palms on the shore is perfect for a family pastime. The landscapes near the beach, covered with grass carpet, are a natural playground for children. Vacation days will fly by here easily and unnoticed. You can fully relax in the hammock of the beach bungalow to the splash of waves.
Hidden and well protected from winds, the bay conceals many interesting things, especially around the rocks. A snorkeller will have a chance to see for himself. All you need to do is to swim up to groups of boulders (rising two meters above water) to admire the fantastically beautiful inhabitants of the bottom. Among the multicoloured fish community one can distinguish blue moonyfishes, spotted sweetlips, giant sea basses, yellowtailed barracuda, threadfins, golden trevallies. Huge green turtles also visit these places.
When is it better to go
The period from November to March is considered the high season in Thailand. Comfortable air temperature, as well as minimal rainfall create optimal conditions for a beach holiday.
