My attitude to the beach was normal, good sunset views and not very noticeable tides, but when I arrived there I liked the beach more, the sand is white and dense like flour in the water, the water is transparent with no real beauty, there are no waves, the tide is not noticeable. There are many beach clubs where you can lie down, sit and watch the sunset, swim and relax, there are trees where you can be in the shade. It was May 2024.
The beach is long, clean, made of fine sand. No mud in the morning, no discarded marine life, no boat "taxi company". Walking comfortably and safely barefoot at any time of the day. Along the beach there are many pleasant cafes "from simple to elite" with live music, ottomans, rockers and other things (but they do not strain, do not clutter up the view and do not spoil the overall impression), there are several Thai massage points. The beach is shallow (it is impossible to be shallow in the low tide season), corals limit the ability to move freely without shoes in the water, so in the low tide season most tourists either snorkel or sit on their ass near the shore (well, as "near" - 50 meters from the shore you can sit on your ass and be chest-deep in water). However, snorkeling on this beach, in my opinion, is one of the best on the island (if you take beach snorkeling). If you go 200 meters from the coastline (and find yourself at a depth of 2-3 m), you can see a very rich marine fauna (a very rich variety of fish, corals, hedgehogs, all kinds of different vegetation) - there is something to see. We literally spent hours snorkeling.
At the exit from the beach (if you exit about in the middle through the Apache Bar) there are quite a few cafes and 7-Eleven, bike rental and laundry facilities. In general, all the infrastructure for a comfortable stay is available.
