About Nai Harn Beach
In the south of the island, between green hills and a couple of islets, Nai Harn has soft white sand and a sheltered bay where sailboats and yachts anchor. The pace is calmer than on the west coast, and the beach is loved by expats living on the island and by local families, which does not stop it from filling up in December and January.
Behind the sand lies a lake that was once natural and is now a large concrete reservoir with pedal boats; between the lake and the sea stands Wat Nai Harn. A stream flows out of the lake and crosses the southern corner of the beach, so sometimes you have to wade across. The best season runs from November to April.
