Maenam

Unlike the other white sandy beaches in Koh Samui, the Maenam Beach features golden yellow sand and is one of the most under-rated beaches on this island. Those who love a serene beach will certainly love the delightful stretch of sand at this beach.

The beach’s cerulean water and tranquil setting attracts many nature photographers, and as many tourists often stay near the Maenam beach area, there are some excellent value accommodation choices nearby.

Although the water is clear and warm in Maenam beach, you cannot surf as the beach is too shallow at some points. However, the beach stays calm most of the year and is good for light paddling.

As Maenam is somewhat remote, you won’t see much of a crowd and the traffic is much less around this area. So it is quite a convenient location for beach accommodation suited to holidaymakers.

The beach is also quite close to the famous party venues at Koh Phangan. With many reasonably priced guesthouses and villas in the area, many guests often stay here and catch a ferry to visit the full moon party venues in Koh Phangan.
