East-coast coves and lookout

Why go

This beach-focused day suits visitors who would rather compare several east-coast coves than spend the whole day on one long beach. Chaweng Noi gives a broad sandy start, and Lad Koh Viewpoint breaks the shore time with a panorama. Coral Cove and Silver Beach offer smaller, granite-framed settings for the afternoon. Keep swimming and snorkeling conditional on local sea conditions. The route is compact on the map, but some legs follow coastal roads rather than a continuous beachfront path; confirm a safe walking route or local transport before setting off.
