Compared to the crowded Chaweng Beach, it is quite and peaceful at Bophut Beach. Back to the heyday, Bophut used to be the largest town on Samui Island. It once served as fishing port with a harbor. The remaining of authentic Samui village with Chinese shop houses still boasts its glorious past.
Bophut lies 2 km of sandy beach lined with coconut palms. Although Bophut is not idyllic place for swimming as the bay is full of seaweed and algae, visitors can choose to do some sport activities with skis, kayaks and snorkeling gear renting services.
