Beach description
The sand on the Tong Tanot beach is brown and very large, especially on the central part. The sand consistency varies slightly. closer to the west is Tong Tanota where it becomes lighter and small. On the borders of the beach often come across large boulders and concrete pillars in the water. Clean the beach is maintained — nowhere.
If we sum up the total length of the built-up part of Tong Beach Tanot, it turns out that out of two kilometers only 200 m are occupied houses. Everything else is one big, green wasteland. Therefore the beach is in the wild, polluted and cleaned only in waves.
Three kilometers to the south, the so-called “Coral Islands “, a group of small islands, popular with tourists, lovers of snorkeling and wild beach holiday. This is Taen Island (Koh Taen), Mat Cum (Koh Mat Sum), Wang Nai (Koh Wang Nai), Rab (Koh Rhab) and a few unnamed areas of land. In case Anyone interested in reading about other places, I have a quick overview. all the beaches of Samui, will help you decide in choosing a beach.
Entry, depth and waves
Shoal always strongly influences the quality of a beach holiday, especially at low tide. Tong Tanot in this regard is no different from Bang Kao, Tong Kruta and Nahai. The sea crawls to hundreds of meters to horizon leaving a wet strip of dirty sand on the shore and areas of the bottom covered with silt and stones. Without special shoes in the water go unsafe.
Yes, and in special shoes have to go more than a dozen meters by knee in water with algae and stumbling over cobblestones. Sea on Tong Tanote is unsuitable, either in good weather or bad. With excitement of the sea, in the center of the beach, opposite Tongtanod pier, waves finish off the buildings on the shore, so most owners defended the foundations of the buildings with concrete and stone parapets.
Sun beds and shade
