Beautiful beach but fairly heavily polluted by oil and debris.some lovely beach restaurants with great inexpensive food

Great beach away from
The hustle where we stayed but easy enough to walk abit and get too! White sand

Avoid the central section and stick to the most northerly or southerly areas to avoid the masses.

Lovely soft sand and clear water. Plenty of food and drink options to choose from.

Constant stream of hawkers, just be polite and a no will see them move on.

We have now been in Koh Samui for 8 days and have visited chaweng beach 4 times, it’s a lovely spot to do some people watching, sip on cocktails while listing to lounge/house music. Kids playing everywhere and a good vibe/atmosphere that any one can fall in love with.
The water is crystal clear and beautifully Tempered water, yes there is a little bit of trash in the water (as much as one would expect second world counties)
