What people say, in short
Many visitors recommend Nai Harn Beach, and several call it a favourite or among the nicest on the island. One visitor suggests ending a day with lunch by the water, and one points to its waves for surfing and kayaking. The main caveat is crowds: many visitors say it has become busy or overcrowded, some missing how quiet it used to be, while several found it not too busy during their stay. Two visitors report a stinging feeling in the water, and reports on litter on the sand vary.
