Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Such a great fine. Very quiet beach with great snorkelling. There is a basic beach bar which was very reasonably priced but the food was good. We ate their daily special of BBQ prawns and they were delicious. Bring all you need as nothing other than the simple bar. We will definitely go back as so quiet and because the snorkelling was so good

Best place for snorkeling Koh samui (we tried them all).Whithout any doubt.
This place is very authentic, and amazing as on the rocky part of the beach you can enjoy superb coral gardens with a lot of fishes.
Only one restaurant which food is OK, but no more.
I recommand you this beach for snorkeling, but for food and massage, you better go on silver beach which is a few minutes away going south.

We had no expectations for the beach but we were surprised about some corals and sea life. The corals are a bit bleached but there are really nice ones as well. The visibility is not good in some parts but the sea is clean, and rocky. So not good for kids. While snorkeling, we saw some tourists standing on the corals and touching etc. STOP doing this!!! Don’t Freaking touch the nature, just look and go away. I cannot understand why still...

We loved this beach and how relaxed it was. The only bad part is that it is essentially a private beach so you need to walk through a resort to access it.

Perfect location in Samui with clear water full of corals where you can spend your whole day in the water! Found a clean and fancy bungallow at the beach front which was affordable for us. The breakfast is good, staff kind and the bay is just amazing:)! We got 1 room which was enough for all aour big family. Cleaning is every 2nd day. Only 6 bungallows in a row, very familiar. Had a relaxing week here with hiurs and hiurs spent in the water:)!

It's a nice quiet, you don't have people asking you to buy things from them. The water is so beautiful but be aware of the hidden rocks at the some part of the beach. The food is fresh and delicious form some restaurant bar. The cocktails are pricey but strong. You can do snorkeling here as well.

Not as big as Chaweng beach but very nice. Worth the visit, on a sunny day the water is beautiful. Careful stepping in as there some smooth rocks to walk around as you go in but clear after that. Great beach, one of the best on Samui.

A great unspoilt sandy beach without jet skis and rows of sunbeds. Nice for swimming as gets deep very quickly. Not so good for small children. There is one restaurant offering good value Thai food and there's tree shade if required. Also very picturesque.

the first time we went to coral cove beach is 8 years ago and because it was so nice we went there a second time during our last stay in koh samui.
the beach is not far from chaweng and very small...maybe 100 meter. beautiful rockformations are located there and it is possible to snorkel between these realy big rocks during hightide. generelly the coral cove area is perfect for snorkeling because of the brethtaking cliffs and rockformation, which are everywhere in that area. unfortunatelly it was windy and the red flag signed strong currents. no one went into the water during the whole time we stayed at coral cove. the waves were very high and it was to dangerous because of the big rocks which are spread in the bay.
there is located one resort directly on the beach and further a beachbar, which offers cold drinks and food. the toilets can be used there. we had a very good coconut shake and the staff was very friendly. the other few resorts of coral cove beach are hidden in the lush vegetation and between the monumental rocks.
the beach was very clean, because the resort, which is directly connected with the beacharea and the beachbar take attention for the area directly infront.
even when the weather was not so nice...we had a great stay there...the atmosphere of coral cove is very extraordinary...not depends on the weather...it was very impressive to observe the realy big waves, which started a fight with the cliff and rocks of the small bay.
we can recomment coral cove beach very much. it is the complete opposite to the big beaches chaweng and lamai...small but beautiful...silent and peaceful. it was not the last time for us.

Does anyone know if you can travel from Crystal Bay Beach to Coral Cove Beach by Kayak, if not what's the best way to get there?

Can you snorkel from the beach? Are there colourful fishes to see close to the beach?
