The Bay is a little-known, beach-lovers haven where you can truly relax and soak up the sunshine and beach-life of an island paradise.There's plenty of things to do; live a castaway dream, paddle in the warm, crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea, learn to scuba dive, or just make Kantiang Bay your sun-kissed home for a while. « less

One of the best beaches I've swam at. Stayed north (long beach) where it's cheaper and scootered down to this beach, had some excellent body surfing, swimming, and views. More

Kantiang is not commercialised in a big way so still has the feel of a quiet peaceful beach with clean sand. A couple of little restaurant bars and some local shops at the end of the beach give a sense of the local life. More

went here hoping it would be a less touristy place than the beaches further north. has turned into a smaller version of the resort areas with kids families.. To calm for young people, and not a place for singles! More
