Loved the soft sandy beach - great for swimming + great choice of beachfront restaurants. Best find was TUK Massage - the lady with the magic hands! On Salad Beach front. Don't miss it!

good for swimming, clean water, a little cooler so refreshing, good escape from the busier beaches, bombarded with jet skis.

Perfect spot for Backpackers. Affordable and away from all the action of the main beach. Make sure to check out the reggae bar...............

Situated on the north west of Koh Phangan we came to this beautiful little beach. We were on a rented scooter touring the island. It was such a nice place that we both decided to stay for a while , enjoy the scenery and tried the food. The cafe and restaurants on the beaches are nicely built on wooden platforms.... More

Secluded, far away enough from the madness. Lush coral reef great snorkel area. Peaceful-perfect for couples or a group of friends exploring the island through the day.

Very touristy, lots of loud tourists... I stayed at Salad Beach resort. While the staff was nice, and the restaurant better than on the rest of the beach, the resort was very noisy, and the pool overcrowded, with children or rowdy ppl playing beach ball. I would not recomend going around Full Moon party dates.

Babies on Phangan??? Of course! They're mostly hanging out at Haad Salad as it's a lovely beach with really nice soft white sand, perfect for little ones. Bring the mosqi repellent, whether it's a deet mix or a natural blend with neem oil, as you may need it when the sun starts to set.

When I arrived at Salad Beach I thought that I had found what I was looking for. It certainly does well in the picturesque department with white sand, palm trees and a smattering of decent restaurants and bungalows. I was able to get a reasonably priced bungalow right on the beach, just steps away from the water. Everything seemed just... More

We spent four weeks at Awe Resort villas on Baan Tai beach, but visited Salad beach for five times because this is great location for snorkeling and diving. Worth spending the whole day, including lunch and/or dinner at one of the restaurants on the beach. And massage!
