| White Sand Beach ("Haad Sai Kao") or White Sands Beach is the most popular beach on Ko Chang. It is a beautiful sandy beach at the northern
end of Ko Changs west coast. It is about 2.5 kilometres long
and lined by rocks, over-hanging palms and broad-leaved trees. |

The southern 1.5 kilometre long area,
located at the road, is during the season the busiest
part of the entire island. In addition, the northern
part, probably the most well-known and longest visited
beach on Ko Chang, is today, after over 15 years of
tourism, still quite quiet. But in the center and the
south the hotels and bungalow resorts are built closer
together as at all other beaches on Ko Chang.
The mountains covered with close rain forest, almost
reach the beach in the northern part, where the road
winds itself steeply up the mountain. |

Although the entire beach is flat like almost
everywhere on the west coast it is still suitable for swimming
at either high or low tide.
"Baan
Sai Kao", the village of White Sands Beach, stretches
itself along the entire road and is the busiest village
on the island. There are many Thai and european restaurants, bars, supermarkets, small shops and massage parlours.
Internet cafes, banks, ATMs, bakerys and much more are also located in the village. |

A small clinic and a police box can also be
found. On the hill direction south there is a well epuipted private
hospital located.
A few hundred metres above the beach, directly by the road
towards "Aow Khlong Son" (Khlong
Son Bay), a small viewpoint is situated, which offers a beautiful
view over the entire beach.

Arrival & Departure:
White Sand Beach can be reached from the piers in approximately
15 - 20 minutes by taxi. If you have advanced bookings
you should tell the taxi driver the name of the resort or
the hotel, otherwise you can get the driver to stop anywhere
you want by knocking on the car-body.
The departure times of the taxis to Dan-Kao-Pier are subject to seasonal change, so check in advance at your resort or in a travel agency.
