Sandy Beaches at June Juea Bay Koh Tao

Once you arrive in the bay, you will find a beach that is actually made up of several broken, but clean, patches of sand, sitting between the rocks and trees.

The beach offers tranquility to visitors and provides lots of shaded areas around the sand patches, which gives you the chance to take a break from the heat of direct sunlight.

The water in June Juea bay is warm, clear and the area is ideal for swimming as you can head straight into the water from the beach.

Great Snorkeling at June Juea Bay

The scattered granite rocks off the coast provide a perfect snorkeling opportunity in relatively shallow water, so it can be an ideal location if you are new to snorkeling.

The bay is not very sheltered though, so be sure to check the conditions before you head into the water.

Amazing Sunsets

Due to its south westerly location, June Juea bay is a great location to watch one of Koh Tao’s exceptional sunsets.

This part of Koh Tao is often unexplored by short stay visitors, so it is generally quiet and an ideal alternative if you want to get away from the busier beaches in Mae Haad and Sairee.
