Just north of Nai Harn, along the coast, is Nui Beach, small, secluded and difficult to access. Further along is Ya Nui, a sandy cove that attracts snorkelers and divers. Another out-of-the way spot nearby is the tiny beach of Ao Sane, a great spot for snorkeling, reached by taking the dirt road that starts at Le Royal Meridien's car park. Here up in the hill there is the Baan Krating Jungle Beach Resort. Ao Sand offers good water visibility together with nice corals close to the beach but it does not have white powder sand, unlike most other beaches on the west coast. Ao Sane it's not a beach crowded with tourists. The beach is almost empty with only a restaurant and a few bungalows. Maybe ten people on the beach and another ten in the restaurant.

Kata Beach, where you'll find a more lively nightlife, is about 20 minutes away, while Patong Beach is about a 30-minute drive.
