Jansom Bay and Freedom Beach
10° 4.8′ N · 99° 49.0′ E
Small, rocky-headland coves on Tao's southwest tip between Mae Haad and Chalok, with clear water and snorkelling off the boulders.
Practical
Position from OpenStreetMap (Jansom Bay). Wikivoyage lists Freedom Beach among the island's good day excursions, by road or by boat, and warns that some beaches are reached only through 'private roads' charging 100–200 THB entry. No anchorage data in the SE Asia Pilot; visit by dinghy from Mae Haad or Chalok in calm weather, and pick up an orange mooring rather than anchoring near coral.
Best for
Dinghy snorkel trip from Chalok or Mae Haad
