Bophut Beach is not far from the famous landmark of Big Buddha. The
beach itself encompasses some two kilometers of white sandy shoreline
fringed by coconut palms leaning over the sea. The calm waters of the
bay make this a popular spot for either playing or relaxing. Stretching
along the main road you will find many small shops and restaurants.
Bophut is a good compromise between the super quiet places and the
hustle and bustle of Chaweng Beach. This is one of the few beaches on
Ko Samui where you can rent jet skis, as well as kayaks and snorkeling
gear.
