We didn't stop here for long, but we were here long enough to see that the beach was clean, the water was a bit choppy, but the sunset here was very good.

Best beach on Coral Island. Do yourself a favour & catch a baht bus to the other side of the island - from where the ferry docks. This beach is not as crowded & has lovely sand & beautiful clear water for swimming. 100baht for a deck chair for the day. Food & drink Available at a reasonable price.

Ta Yai beach

Reviewed By bookowl1000 - Foshan, China

This is my favourite beach on Koh Larn because it is the smallest and quietest; the perfect place to get away from other tourists and motorised water sports - though I have seen one man renting out a jet ski. It is sandy underfoot both in and out of the water. There are sun loungers or deckchairs for hire (50 baht for the day). This is the beach for those who want peace and quiet and do not need any beach entertainments.
Getting there costs 40 baht per person on the songthaew (open back trucks) from Naban port on Koh Larn, though this is based on many sharing transport so if it is just you and a friend you may be charged up to 100 baht for the journey. This is a lot of money by Thai standards.
As it is so isolated and not many go there, it may be difficult to find transport when you are ready to leave. On my last visit a Thai speaking friend had to speak to a local who called a friend who came and picked us up, If you are visiting I recommend you time your departure with when the last day trippers will have to leave to catch the last ferry back to Pattaya, or when you have your own transport - it costs 200 baht to hire a scooter for the day though you do so at your own risk and no travel insurance will cover any accidents when using one.

Ta Waen Beach

Reviewed By iammichhh - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

It was one of the most amazing Beaches that I have ever visited in my life. The water was clear and the view was amazing. The only thing that I dislike was the crowd. There were just too many people.
Nevertheless, it was a great experience. A few things to take note of:- 1) Make sure you haggle if you're planning to ride on a banana boat or jet ski. I rode on the banana boat for 100 Baht per person. Initially, he offered to take us for a ride for 300 Baht.
I wouldn't encourage you to jet ski because there were a number of fraud cases that I heard of before I came to Thailand. 2) If you would like to visit the entire island as well as the other Beaches, I'd suggest that you rent a motorcycle (200 Baht per day). It is way convenient that taking a taxi or going by foot.

Very secluded small beach very few foreigners or food stands. You need to get a baht bus or motor bike ride to find, but worth it.
