Mae Haad Bay and Koh Ma


Wide, idyllic Mae Haad Bay is situated in the Northwest of Koh Phangan. Wherever you look from here, you always see the steep, forested island Koh Ma which is only a stone's throw away. The broad, flat beach has very fine sand and is clean. The location has been declared a Marine National Park a few years ago, so commercial fishing and harpooning are not allowed. 
Depending on the wind and the water level, you will have to walk out quite far in order to swim. Unfortunately, there is a lot of coral rubble in the water. Snorkeling is good right from the beach, but you get the best views west of the island Koh Ma. During low tide, you can walk over to the island on a sandbank. 

Even though Mae Haad offers a supermarket, a bank, ATM's, Internet, motorbike rentals and electricity 24/7, you can still find the old Phangan here. But around full moon dates it can get very busy. 
There are many palm trees growing on the beach and some have been planted recently. Chances are they will bring some of the old atmosphere back which has been lost a little during recent years.
There used to be accommodation on the little island of Koh Ma and even a bar, but this seems to be history now (Feb 2011) which, of course, is better for the animals and the fish there.
Plus: Snorkeling can only benefit from this development! 


Recommendation: 
Walk over to Koh Ma during low tide and check out the ruins of the last resort!
