Bangtao Beach 10 mins
Layan Beach 10 mins
Layan Beach is at the north end of Bang Tao beach. The mouth of a small river separates it from Bang Tao Beach. Turtle-shell shaped
Kata Island is just offshore. This island shelters the beach from the rainy season waves.
Layan Beach is a shallow bay. When the tide is out it becomes a plain of rippled sand and shallow pools. You can walk to the island without
getting your feet wet. Even when the tide is in you can wade across to the island. This beach and the islet form a small tranquil bay ringed
with casuarina trees and coconut palms.
It is a beautiful and secluded little beach with only a couple of resorts. The shallow, calm water is ideal for children, especially when the tide
is out when they have the whole bay to explore. Beware the area around the river mouth. The water looks reasonably clean but it does form
a channel through the sand with a current that could catch a small child.
It is a paddling beach rather than a bathing beach. Even when the tide is in, it is too shallow for bathing. There are no sun loungers
