Located on the northeastern tip of Koh Samui, Choeng Mon Beach is celebrated for its shallow, tranquil waters that often resemble a still lake, making it a top choice for families with children. The beach features a fascinating natural phenomenon where waves meet from two sides, creating a sandbar that allows visitors to walk to a nearby private island at low tide. While the atmosphere is generally relaxed, the shoreline is well-equipped with numerous bars and eateries offering sunbeds and beanbags for a small fee. It is a prime spot for catching both the sunrise and sunset, though visitors should be prepared for significant crowds during peak hours. The seabed is mostly smooth sand, providing a comfortable experience for wading and swimming.
Choeng Mon Beach is highly regarded by visitors for its exceptionally calm and shallow waters, which many describe as being as flat as a lake. A standout feature mentioned by several reviewers is the unique wave pattern and the sandbar that allows for a 100-meter walk to a nearby small island. While the beach is praised for being family-friendly and offering great sunrise and sunset views, some visitors noted that it can become extremely crowded and 'heaving' during peak times. The shoreline is well-serviced with various bars and restaurants where guests can rent sunbeds or beanbags for a small fee. Most reviewers found the seabed to be smooth sand, though a few cautioned about occasional rocks. Overall, it is seen as a beautiful and accessible spot, even if parking occasionally requires a short walk from the roadside.
