Hidden Gem 🏖️ Beach

Ao Thian Beach (Secret Beach)

Surat Thani, Thailand

A tiny crescent of golden sand tucked between granite boulders on Koh Tao's quieter eastern coast, known only to island locals and a few savvy travelers.

About this place

Located past Ao Leuk on a rough dirt road, this beach requires a motorbike and some determination to reach. Park at the makeshift lot and walk down the rocky path for 5 minutes. Local tip: visit during sunset for the best lighting, and bring water as there are no facilities. The snorkeling here is exceptional with fewer crowds than main beaches.
