Samae Beach is my personal favorite of beaches here on the island. Gentile breezes most of the year make it pleasant almost any time. White sand with clear blue water also makes Samae Beach an excellent choice for relaxing the day away. There are places to stay here for those that love the sound of the surf when going to sleep. Many restaurants line the beach so your never too far away from your favorite dish. . Most of the restaurants here are simple structures built atop existing beach sand, there are however two restaurants that have concrete floors. These two restaurants are located at the far north and south portion of the beach. The one on the south end is called Chom Talae Resort. Chom Talae has a great ocean view that can add to your dining experience. There are also bungalows for rent here. The bungalows here are very basic, all have TV but, no hot water or aircon. Next to the ocean aircon is really not necessary but no hot water may be a problem for some, I find the cool water quite refreshing. At the north end of the beach you will find Cape Gold, the restaurant here has a character all it's own. The owner here really has a knack for decorating this place with artifacts that come drifting in from the ocean. Many people come here to just relax all day. Cape Gold also has bungalows for rent. Bungalows here are as basic as it gets, built of wood with thatched roofs, these are true beach comber hide away's. You can really get down to nature here in this place.
