Discovered only by few, Silver Beach has become beach lovers, sunbathers and divers paradise. Koh Samui never fails to impress all its guests with another beach nestled in peace and privacy. The picture perfect beach has got what it takes to make it a good beach: glittering water, gold hued sand, shallow water coral reefs, big tree shades, beachfront restaurants with no hawkers to disturb you.

This beach is best appreciated before noon. It's relatively quiet then. Compared to Maenam or Lamai the water is gentle and clear and the sand is soft (though there is a strip of dead coral and gravel at the edge of the water). Our two year old absolutely loved playing here. The drawback is that it does get crowded quickly. And if you're really unlucky you'll have to share the beach with ignorant people blasting loud music and generally being a nuisance. On the other hand it's great for people watching.

As a final curtain in my day trip, made sure I’d stop by a beach in the afternoon so I could relax and enjoy the sun and water. This beach was one I specifically checked on this website to determine which beach may be the best to enjoy. It did not disappoint! Free entry and since I was there in December, it wasn’t too hot, but still fully enjoyable. The beach is located just before all these bungalows set right near the shore and they were quite cool and I imagine, quite nice to stay in of you want to be right on the beachfront! Anyways, you can actually go out quite far and the water doesn’t get deep. Not a lot of people there, and it was the perfect place to just relax, enjoy, and burn off a nice afternoon after what was already a beautiful day trip to different sites around the island!
