Plan beyond the postcard
Plan island transport → Access, shade and the return boat often matter more.

How to choose
Make the beach fit the whole day
Count the facilities
Food, toilets, shade and shops may matter more than solitude for your group.
Leave return margin
Do not turn a quiet remote beach into a stressful race back to the pier.
Village-side arrival
Arriving at Na Baan?
Na Baan is an east-side village and a scheduled public-ferry arrival point — not a swimming-beach profile. Current businesses, services, accessibility and payment facilities were not verified for this release.
