Crystal Bay Beach – Koh Samui, Thailand

Our quest for a healthy breakfast took an unexpected turn this morning when we checked out this little gem. We’ve driven past for years and never stopped but I’m glad we finally did. The beach is between Chaweng and Lamai. The sand was not as soft as Chaweng but I wouldn’t say it was harsh. Scattered palm trees provide plenty of shade if required. The water is clear, with a very gentle wave and not a lot of weed around. We visited in the morning and it was definitely not crowded but getting busier when we left. Access is via Crystal Bay Yacht Club and I would definitely consider stopping in to their restaurant for lunch or a drink if it was later in the day. Will definitely go again.
