Overview
Overview
Chaweng Beach is Koh Samui’s best-known and most developed beach, stretching along the island’s east coast. The long sandy shoreline is popular for swimming, sunbathing and water activities, with resorts, restaurants and beach clubs directly behind much of the beach.
It is also one of the easiest beaches for visitors who want everything nearby. Chaweng’s main shopping, dining and nightlife areas are close enough to turn a beach day into dinner and an evening out without travelling far.

What to expect
What to expect
Expect a long, lively stretch of sand with plenty happening around the beach. Swimming, sunbathing, beach restaurants, resorts and water activities are easy to find, especially around central Chaweng. It can become busy during peak periods, so this beach is better for convenience and atmosphere than complete seclusion.
SamuiDeals Tip
Central Chaweng is the liveliest section. For a more relaxed beach day, walk farther along the beach away from the busiest resorts and beach clubs. Sea conditions can change, so check the water before swimming.
