Otres Beach

At the southern end of Occheuteal Beach, beyond the small headland, Phnom Som Nak Sdach (Hill of the King’s Palace), lies stunning Otres Beach, a seemingly infinite strip of casuarinas that can give southern Thailand a run for its money.

About 700m south, near the main cluster of guesthouses, you’ll find Blue Lagoon Kitesurf Centre . It’s located at Sunlord Seagarden resort. The owner also runs daily boat tours to four islands (per person US$15 including breakfast, lunch, snorkelling and a drink or two).
Way down at the beach’s sleepy southern terminus on Otres 2 is Otres Nautica , a laidback, French-run outfit that rents tandem sea kayaks (per hour US$4) and Hobie Cat sailing catamarans (per hour US$10) that you can take out to nearby islands. It also has a boat for snorkelling or island-hopping excursions.
Otres Beach is about 5km south of the Serendipity area. It’s a US$2/5 moto /remork ride to get here (more at night). If going it alone, follow the road southeast along the beach and skirt the hill by headling inland on the inviting tarmac. From the city centre, you can take Omui St from Psar Leu east out of town for 5km.
