The more popular of the two beaches and good for watching the sunset.
Emerald Cave
Accessible from Farang Beach by boat or kayak. Expect tour rates to start at 600 baht before haggling and kayaks at 100 baht per hour. The cave is accessible only at low tide, and takes about 30 minutes to reach by kayak from Charlie Beach. Bringing a light source is recommended, as the cave is 80 m long and has some sharp turns. Beyond the cave is an attractive, small, completely enclosed beach formed by a sinkhole.
Rent a mountain bike from PK minimiart and explore the island.
Cheapest meals on the island, with a menagerie of animals and very friendly staff.
A nice beach bar playing good music. Sometimes with live performances from Thai reggae bands. A good place to watch the sunset. Beers start at 50 baht and cocktails at 100 baht.
Hot showers and a bar area. The huts are dingy, with nothing but draughts, a light, a mattress, and a fan. Intermittent electricity.
A nice clean hostel run by a very friendly family. Breakfast is included in the price and is served at the bakery across the road.
By boat
