Best beaches for sunset
The island's west side faces the open Gulf, so the sun sets over the water there. These are the beaches to aim for in the last hour of light:
West coast · sets over the sea Tien Beach
South-west coast · sets over the sea Thong Lang Beach
North-west coast · sets over the sea
For sunrise and the calmest morning water, the east-facing beaches catch first light over the mainland:
