Located in the north-west of the island, Haad Yao Beach is a soft sandy beach with gleaming white sand and crystal-clear water that attracts young holidaymakers for its dream beach setting. There are cool beach bars and restaurants all along the beach that play music all day, and a nearby village has accommodation and other essentials. Water sports here include swimming, snorkeling along the nearby reef, kayaking and boating. A diving school at the beach offers diving excursions to the well-known Sail Rock, which is between Koh Phangan and Koh Tao.
