Ko Chang Question about beaches on Koh Chang
Posted: Tue October 17, 2006 05:33 AM UTC
Hi

My wife and I are thinking about going to Thailand next year and since we have been to Phuket, Samui, Krabi, Hua Hin etc we would like to try something new and we have been looking at Koh Chang. But when we started reading about this island we found different opinions about the beaches. What are the beaches of Koh Chang like? What is the sand quality like? Is is great for taking a swim? Or is it to shallow? Would love to hear from someone that has been there and that have personal experience.

Regards
Gard

Most beaches slope gently into the sea, so you have to walk out into the sea quite a long way to swim. But Lonely Beach is good for swimming as it drops off only 10 metres from the shore.

The water quality is good on most beaches, but Whitesands is the most polluted,( still cleaner than anywhere on Phuket or Samui though ) if you want to swim here then walk up to the very north of the beach , near Whit Sadn beach Resort to find the cleanest water.

Right now the water is very clear on all beaches and very nice for swimming.
