Ao Nui Beach

7° 29.3′ N · 99° 4.7′ E

A small, quiet cove between Kantiang and Bamboo Bay, framed by rocks and with very little development.

Practical

Wikivoyage describes Ao Nui (Nui Bay) as small and quiet with little accommodation. It is too small for a yacht anchorage; visit by dinghy from Hat Kan Tiang or Hat Khlong Chak in calm NE-monsoon weather, or by road (the Relax Lanta viewpoint restaurant overlooks it). Rocks at both ends of the cove.

Best for

A quiet swim stop by dinghy or scooter

Season

Nov-Apr (NE monsoon); exposed in the SW monsoon
