Haad Rin Nok, Sandy beach in Ban Tai, Thailand
Haad Rin Nok is a sand beach on the southeastern coast of Koh Phangan featuring soft white sand and turquoise water that stretches between two rocky headlands. The beach spans approximately 800 meters long and slopes gently into the sea, making it welcoming for swimming.
The beach was discovered in the 1980s by travelers who recognized its natural beauty and built the first beachfront accommodations. Since then, the area has become a known destination while keeping its fundamental character.
The beach serves as a meeting point for travelers from around the world who gather to swim and watch the sunset together. The surroundings have developed into a lively spot where restaurants and bars shape the rhythm of beach life.
The water is calmest in the early morning or later in the afternoon when most visitors are eating or resting. There are many loungers available to rent and lifeguards patrol regularly during main daytime hours.
During low tide, a natural sand pathway emerges connecting the bay to a small offshore island, inviting visitors to explore it on foot. This path takes about two hours to walk and offers a special adventure without needing any extra gear.
