Koh Phangan Beaches Guide

Snuggled into the headland south of Haad Salad, Haad Gruad beach is an ideal spot to get away from the crowds and enjoy a quiet swim and amazing sunsets. With its tiny-beach, hulking granite boulders, rough sand and great fishing and snorkelling, Haad Gruad is an attractive place to spend your holiday.
With predominantly made up of granite, Haad Gruad almost unspoilt beauty is accented by a hilly, lush tropical jungle interior, mini-white-sand beach and three accomodation options.

How to Get to Haad Gruad beach |
The journey to the beach is almost more enjoyable than the beach itself. Haad Kruad is to the North of Haad Yao beach and has path linked it with Haad Salad via Cookies Salad Resort.
From Thogsala port a taxi fare should be 200 baht/per one way. Around the beach you also can rent a motorbike or car. There are two ways to ride Haad Kruad:
- from Thonsala port along Koh Phangan west coast. This way is more tiresome;
- the road starts from Thong Sala's Tesco Lotus. Follow the road and turn left at T-intersection to Sri Thanu village. Next T-junction (with fresh fruit market and 7-eleven on it) turn right. Continue straight till signs 'Cookies Salad Resort and Lucky Resort' from your left side. This easy way is the more free traffic and the most short. |
