Haad Son is a smaller more contained area that is ideal for snorkeling. The coral reef that stretches along the beach sustains an abundance of corals and marine life. The low-key atmosphere is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the clear blue-green water.

This very laid back beach attracts many families as the beach is perfect for young children. Even during the low season the beaches are still excellent for swimming.

Had Son is a privately owned beach and was previously inhabited by just one family, thus it is one of the region's most undeveloped and secluded bays. The shoreline is approximately 600 metres long and there is very little on it except for tall shady coconut palms and acres of white sand. With just one resort Had Son beach provides the perfect getaway for those seeking idyllic island life.

It is fairly shallow before the coral reef, thus swimming conditions are affected by the tides, with the highest tidal season from November to April is best for swimming.
