Beach description
The first half of Nathon beach is wild and neglected. The width of the line sand from the river Lipa Yai and the maritime police office to a rectangular turn of a one-way road is about 20 meters Plain, yellow sand that becomes muddy bottom and bared daily with low tide.
The second half of Nathon beach is just a promenade. She goes from turning the road, along the footpath, past the SeaTran pier and up to a large warehouse of seafood, sandy beach in Nathon no. AT tides the sea rises to the embankment itself, leaving no space for lying, not for walking.
Nathon – densely populated point, with all the consequences the consequences. Along the coast do not float tons of garbage, but proximity pier and a huge number of boats, boats, ships and ferries are not add transparency to local water.
People on the waterfront are more than enough, even at night in Nathone is very lively. A sandy beach runs along the palm groves without buildings, so there are usually few people there.
In case anyone is interested in reading about other places, I have There is a brief overview of all the beaches of Samui, will help you decide in choosing a beach. Nathon Beach is a city beach. A lot of civilization and little nature. The main landscapes of the beach are sea vessels. But there is one “But”.
Entry, depth and waves
Laem Yai Beach enters Bang Bangham Beach, which is in its queue goes to the beach Nathon. All three beaches have a unique photogenic at low tide. The sea goes to a very large distance leaving large islets of sandy bottom and shallow lakes sea water.
Due to the reflection of the sky in these lakes are stunning photographs, so all three beaches are favorite places for photo shoots from local photographers. The sea is unwieldy, the waves are only during a storm.
Sun beds and shade
Since the sea in this place is not used for recreation, but for work, then no loungers, no umbrellas, or the usual marine entertainment there is no. But full of shade under the trees on the waterfront. The main visitors of the beach after low tide are photographers and their models, tourists on mopeds and fishermen who pick out the clams from silt.

Infrastructure
How unhappy in Nathon is the situation with a beach holiday, so high here is the concentration of everything needed for island life. Shops, hotels, attractions, market, port, the main offices of public services, the cheapest on Samui hospital.

- Chinese Temple in Nathon;
- temple Si Taweep;
- Nathon Temple;
- Hin Lad Waterfall;
- night market on the quay near the pier;
- waterfall Zong Raue.
Houses and hotels on the beach
Among the mass of commercial, administrative, grocery and financial institutions in Nathon there are several large hotels. But the main cluster of housing for rent is behind the town, in the depths of the island. Very large selection, very different price range. The closest housing to the pier in the bulk does not shine gloss, but you can find quite acceptable options for stopping.
