Tanote Bay

The bay offers incredible snorkeling with clear water, diverse marine life, and abundant corals, making it one of the best spots on Koh Tao.

There's a large rock offshore that visitors can swim to, climb, and jump from, providing a fun and adventurous experience.

Compared to other beaches, Tanote Bay is described as beautiful, peaceful, and more natural, with fewer crowds, especially in the mornings.

Visitors can easily spot a variety of fish, baby sharks, turtles, stingrays, and diverse coral reefs even close to the shore.

The beach offers free access, wide sandy areas, sunbeds with drink purchases, and several fairly priced restaurants and bars on the sand.
