The beach

Located in the north of Samui has good swimming preferences. This area is more quiet than the big tourist centers Chaweng and Lamai. Maenam Beach is some two kilometers to the west of Bophut on the north coast of Koh Samui. Maenam Village is largely untouched with some of the shop houses along the beach being 75 years or older. A small Chinese temple is located along the jetty. Maenam has a smooth white beach running for four kilometers along a calm, scenic bay. It is a pleasant, secluded spot for swimming and sunbathing. Sunsets at Maenam Beach are spectacular and there is always a view of the neighboring islands.
