North of Mae Haad guesthouses and hotels

North of Mae Haad, much of the beach is given over to fishing boats and has more than enough beach refuse to go around. This stretch is a peaceful area, but the beach is rather rocky and the water is very shallow -- though deep enough to paddle around and enjoy the less-polluted spots.

South of the pier guesthouses and hotels

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 snorkeling with soft and hard corals and several varieties of small tropical fish.
