Ao Tapao
Perhaps the best beach in Koh Kood is Ao Tapao. Lying on the west of the island, the beach has powdery sand with the backdrop of coconut trees. The natural beauty of Ao Tapao beach is seen from early morning until late evening both at high tide and low tide when the full width of the beach becomes exposed towards sundown, revealing classic sunset views while presenting photographic opportunities. It is quite convenient to walk from Tapao Bay to Ban Klong Mat, and nearby bays and inlets, an area considered the center of Koh Kood because of the facilities offered such as the sub district office, hospital and police station. All are located not far from Tapao beach and close to Klong Hin Dam pier. Ban Klong Mat is the island's oldest fishing community and a spot where tourists can buy souvenirs.
