North of Mae Haad

Mae Haad is the port so there will always be boat traffic but there's a small pleasant area to the north. The path continues past Cafe Del Sol and winds up the headland towards Sairee. Perched on the rocky headland are a number of budget resorts and they offer easy walking access to both Sairee and Mae Haad. While there is no beach most resorts have access to the rocky shoreline where you can swim or snorkel or just laze on the rocks with a good book.

South of the pier

Although close to Ko Tao's main pier, the southern stretch of Mae Haad is quite pleasant and is home to one of Ko Tao's best resorts. There are also a few newer guesthouse options back from the beach along the two main roads that run out of town. The southern extreme is tranquil, and the sea here provides some decent shallow-water snorkelling with soft and hard corals, plenty of fish life and even a shallow shipwreck to explore.
