Son Bay Beach (Crab Beach, Koh Yao Yai)
8° 2.1′ N · 98° 33.7′ E
A remote, undeveloped beach on Koh Yao Yai's north-west coast, nicknamed Crab Beach for the crabs that cover the sand.
Practical
Position from the OpenStreetMap bay node (Son Bay); the village of Ao Son is mapped just inland. No bars or restaurants per Conmochila; swimming is poor and Explorertom says it can disappoint at very low tide. It sits about 1 nm north of the Ao Labu North anchorage (08°01.741N 98°33.695E), so it is a dinghy ride. Leave the crabs alone.
Best for
Solitude and beachcombing
