Ao Sai Beach (Koh Yao Yai)

A quiet beach near Koh Yao Yai's southern tip beside a fishing village, with longtail boats on the sand and hermit crabs everywhere at low tide.

Practical

Position from the OpenStreetMap beach node (Ao Sai Beach); it lies just inside Capt Ed's Spot anchorage (07°54.148N 98°36.019E). Phuket101 says the access track is bumpy; Conmochila praises its clear water and powdery sand. Go in the morning to see the fishing boats come in. Dinghy in from Capt Ed's Spot.
