Ko Samet boasts beaches with sand as fine as dust, lined with coconut palms and lapped by turquoise waters perfect for swimming and scuba diving. This small slender island, situated a stone's throw from Ban Phe dock, is very popular at weekends, especially its northeast coast, which is dotted with chalets and restaurants. It is quieter in the south, where the wild, still unspoiled coast features several sheltered bays.
