Most people head for Samet island, renowned for its white sandy beaches, irregular shaped rocks and clear waters. Part of a marine national park, the island’s beaches are clean and relaxing and stretch mainly along the East Coast, with Sai Kaeo and Wong Duan the most popular. There are less beaches on the west coast which is dominated by cliffs and rocks. However, Ao Prao beach on the northern tip is beautifully shaped and good for both swimming and snorkeling.
