Nui Bay is the hiker's reward: a white-sand cove pinched between two limestone spurs, reachable only on foot or by long-tail. The route crosses the island south to north — 4.1 km over the ridge, through the northern hamlets and across Loh Lana beach — before a final passage that only opens at low tide. It's the longest of our hikes: leave early, time the tide, and you'll likely have the beach to yourself.
Leave the village heading north along Loh Dalum, then climb gently on the concrete path hugging the hill. At the signed "Nui Beach" fork, a small sign points left between two houses.
The trail rises through the vegetation to a panoramic shoulder — the Andaman Sea appears on both sides of the island at once. The most sun-exposed stretch: hat mandatory.
The path drops to the northwest coast and lands on Loh Lana Bay, calm and rarely visited. You walk straight across the sand to cross the bay.
At the end of Loh Lana, the passage to Nui Beach rounds the rocks: it's only walkable at low tide. If the water touches the cliff, don't push it — wait or turn back.
The cove: white sand, turquoise water, a reef a few strokes out for snorkeling. No bar, no loungers — pack everything in, pack everything out.
