Tha Khao Beach and Koh Nui Sandbar (Koh Yao Noi)

8° 7.9′ N · 98° 37.6′ E

A kilometre of beach at Tha Khao where, at low tide, a sandbank links the shore to the islet of Koh Nui so you can walk across.

Practical

Position is the OpenStreetMap node for the tidal islet (mapped as 'Low Tide Island'). Phuket101 describes the 1 km beach, the low-tide sandbank to Koh Nui, and budget bungalows and cafes. Walk out on a falling tide and come back before the flood covers the bar. Very shallow: anchor off and dinghy in near high water.
