HAD MAE HAD

Had Mae Had has recently gone through a lot of changes, it has greatly improved road connections and there is a village building up behind it. There are quite a few resorts, but as the beach is fairly long, there’s still enough room for solitude. It has sunset views over Koh Ma and the waters and coral reef that surround it are designated as a National Marine Park as they are so rich in sea life, with turtles and reef sharks (harmless) easily spotted. The beach can be a bit rough in places, but is beautiful all the same, and has a sand bar that you can walk across to reach Koh Ma.

Had Mae Had Beach

The beach is long with soft white sand. The best time to visit Had Mae Had (as with all beaches this side of the island) is between the months of Dec-Mar, as during the rest of the year the sea level becomes lower and simming is not so good. Although it is still possible to enjoy the snorkelling and excellent coral reef during the whole year.

Had Mae Had is also a local dive site - many companies on Koh Pha-Ngan offer snorkelling and scuba diving trips to the nearby island of Koh Ma, which has a stunning coral reef. Koh Ma is connected to Had Mae Had by a sandbar which means that it is possible to walk across and take a look around. It is also possible to beach dive and swim out to the reef from the shore for snorkelling.

IMPORTANT: If you want to enjoy the spectacular coral reefs around Koh Pha-Ngan, please ensure that take the necessary precautions to protect the delicate coral.

Don't put your fins on the coral
Don't be tempted to take any of the coral
Take any waste/rubbish away when you leave

Always think about what you may be doing and how this may have an impact on the local marnine environment.

As the surrounding area is protected by National Park status there is no fishing allowed. Enjoy!!
