Haad Salad Beach in the local dialect translates as 'pirate beach'. This is because the sheltered cove with its coral reefs and shallow bay was inaccessible by the Thai navy and hence made an excellent place for smugglers to hide. Nowadays the beautiful white sand beach and crystal clear waters of Haad Salad are no longer used by pirates but rather by those looking for a paradise beach holiday.
The beach at Haad Salad is about 600 meters long. It is fine white sand mixed with dead coral in places. Care must be taken not to cut your feet at low tide and in certain sections of the beach when swimming. This is part of an eco system that supports a nearby coral reef.
Haad Salad is well connected to the infrastructure of the island but retains a remote charm: much of the palm tree fringe to the beach remains. It is easily one of the prettiest and most unspoiled beaches on Koh Phangan.
