Like all beaches on the west coast Kai Bae Beach is flat, great for families, but nevertheless
all the time suitable for bathing. In the dryer months, at low tide
you will need to wade out about 50-100 metres to the deeper waters. Four
islands, Koh Yuak, Koh Pli, Koh Man Nok and Koh Man Nai, are idyllically
placed in the bay. At low-tide Koh Man Nai can be reached by foot.
The road is a short distance from the beach and rises at the southern
end steeply, where the jungle-covered mountains almost meet the
ocean. In Kai Bae village (Baan Kai Bae) a few small bars and restaurants,
gas stations, shops, supermarkets and Internet cafés are
located.
Also in Baan Kai Bae is the Ko-Chang-Nursing-Center. Tel. 01- 862
78 25, opening-hours: Daily. 5.00 pm - 9.00 pm, during Thai holidays
and on long weekends from 8.00 am - 9.00 pm.
At the southern end of the road towards Bang Bao Bay is a viewpoint
directly by the side of the road, this offers a fantastic view over
Kai Bae Beach and Khlong Prao Beach all the way to the mountains
behind White Sand Beach.
