Sai Nuan Beach is one of my favourite, unspoilt beaches in Koh Tao. Located on the south-west coastline of Koh Tao Island, Sai Nuan Beach is the perfect hideaway from the more popular Koh Tao beaches.
HOW TO GET TO SAI NUAN BEACH KOH TAO
Sai Nuan Beach is a 15-minute drive from Sairee Beach, the main tourist hub of Koh Tao. Sai Nuan Beach has decent road access and when I visited there were no parking or entrance fees. Sai Nuan Beach Koh Tao is a short 2-minute walk to the beach from the car park.
The best way to get around Koh Tao is to rent a scooter for 150 Baht per day to explore all four corners of the island. There are dozens of scooter rental stores in and around town and most accommodations offer scooter rentals too.

THE 2 BEACHES AT SAI NUAN BEACH KOH TAO
There are actually two beaches to be explored at this location, Sai Nuan Beach 1 and Sai Nuan Beach 2.
If you happen to park in the first car park on your left at the end of the road, follow the walking trail down from here and you will emerge on Sai Nuan Beach 2. To get to Sai Nuan Beach 1, follow the shoreline around the corner, walk through the restaurant beneath the palms and you will arrive in less than 2-minutes.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT SAI NUAN BEACH
I visited Sai Nuan Beach around 2pm one afternoon and I was stoked to have discovered this tropical paradise that is isolated from the more touristy Koh Tao beaches. I first arrived on Sai Nuan Beach 2 and took some photos of the beach and seaside restaurant before following the shoreline around to Sai Nuan Beach 1.
Sai Nuan Beach 1 is my favourite pick of the two beaches because of the awesome tropical vibe about it. A cozy bay is shaded by a coconut palm tree forest with a slack line and a tree swing between the palms! Sounds fun right?! Sai Nuan Beach is the perfect spot to enjoy a day out with friends and family to soak up some sun, snorkel around the rocks and enjoy the sounds of the waves and coral wind chimes about.
