A relaxed atmosphere and a great social scene await you. Sarikantang Beach or Haad Leela, is located on the Western tip of the island, just only a 10 minute walk from Haad Rin.
It's a long white sand beach with mangrove trees dotted along the coastline. This spot hosts some old and some new resorts settled back in the palms. Its secluded location enables you to get away from crowded Haad Rin, whilst only about 15 minutes walk from the town centre. The beach is rocky and the coral reef that stretches along the Southern coast starts here.
The lovely white sandy beach is lined by palm groves with high rising rocky headlands on either end for a picturesque tropical atmosphere. The clear turquoise water is fairly shallow, so swimming here isn't great, but splashing or floating around are popular alternatives, and soft corals and some fish can be seen not far from shore towards the western end of the beach.
The resorts here are among the finest in the area, providing comfortable lodgings and good atmospheres for budget to midrange travellers. This is a great place to escape the crowds and constant debauchery of Haad Rin in a beautiful and tranquil setting. With a primarily younger and lively clientele, parties have been known to break out here, but it remains mostly very peaceful.
