A 101 Guide to Ko Samui: A Tropical Paradise of Leisure and Culinary Delights

"Bophut Beach, also facing Ko Pha-ngan, is known for its charming Fisherman's Village, a picturesque area with boutique shops, restaurants, and a relaxed atmosphere. Here you can shop for handicrafts on Walking Street, taste street food and enjoy live performances. The beach itself has a more local feel and is generally less crowded than the popular beaches to the east of the island. Bophut is a good option if you're interested in a mix of leisure and cultural experiences." - James Whiting

Stunning location. I stayed in a beach front resort in the area. Like many places in SE Asia, plastic and debris washes into the shore. Rather than complain about it, pick it up and collect plastics from the water for the sake of the turtles and other sea creatures.

Good sized beach. Perfect for a barefoot sunrise walk and swim. There are plenty of places to stop and grab a coffee or some food. You can even rent jetskis or Stand Up paddle boards. Beach is pretty quiet. Was surprised how clean it is as well.

Bophut beach is located on the north of the island. It is a 3km long nice crescent-shaped beach. Do not expect a crystal water with white sand on that part of the island. Water visibility is not more than 40cm, otherwise the view on Koh Phangan is nice. Beach is quiet compared to the busy Chaweng Beach. Left part (North-west) of the beach is not really good for swimming as the bottom is muddy and there are many tour boats. Some good hotels on that beach with direct access to the popular Fishermans Village (marketing name) which was called Bophut Village till late 2010 ... plenty of international and thai restaurants and shops.

The beach is wonderful, we just visited the beach for a walk at sunset time but That alone is wonderful.

Beautiful long beach. The sand is a bit coarse-grained, but still not a problem for long barefoot walks. The beach is not overcrowded and there is no vehicle noise. Quiet, very pleasant & relaxing atmosphere and there are some nice restaurants to stop by.

This is one of the worst beaches in this season (December). There is trash everywhere and no one cleans it. I picked up a few big things myself while walking around. I can't imagine when this beach is nice as others describe.
