Additionally, the ramp allows for haul-outs up to 100m+, and the hardstand accommodates 80 boats. It is accessible 24 hours a day and has zero tide restrictions.

The Chandara Resort, boasting its own small headland and private beach, sits just out of sight of Ao Po, around the northern corner. Moreover, this beach is something of a pleasant surprise for the East coast. It's quite wide, with fine white sand and tropical sea breeze.

One of the islands that shelter the bay, covered with coconut plantations and large shady trees, is Koh Naka Yai.
