Tien Beach is a mid sized beach here on the island. In as far as blue ocean and white sand this is the best. This beach has many restaurants and souvenir shops that are a little more upscale than at the other beaches, but still, has the flavor of Thailand. From what I have been told, this is a year round beach, with little fluctuation of tourist from season to season. The atmosphere here, well seems very relaxed and quiet. The people that visit here seem to come in smaller groups and there for not as much chatter that you would find amongst larger groups. Tien Beach is accessible by speed boat, charter and local taxi. When coming by taxi there is a short walk of about five minutes from the drop off point, there are no roads to this beach.
