Beaches

The main strip of beach in Kenting is practically controlled by the large resorts.  However it is accessible to everyone.  You will be required to pay a small fee for a chair and umbrella.

Nanwan is also a popular beach area that is quite a bit larger.  Here you will see all kinds of water sports.  Shops line the road with scuba/snorkelling gear and restaurants.  There are also changing/shower facilities here.

Shado Beach is an ecologically protected area so no swimming.

Baisha Beach is about 30 minutes north west of Kenting and it literally means "white sand beach".  During the week you could be lucky enough to be the only one on the beach.
