About this place

This 4-kilometer crescent-shaped beach offers a perfect blend of relaxation and entertainment with its famous Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks (Hin Ta Hin Yai) at the southern end. The central area has a vibrant walking street with local markets, while the northern section remains peaceful and ideal for families. The coral reefs here make for decent snorkeling during calm weather.
