“A unique horseshoe-shaped island featuring two pristine white sand beaches connected by a small path, offering vibrant snorkeling spots and a tranquil atmosphere.”

Sak Island is a small, uniquely shaped island resembling a horseshoe or the letter "U." Located only a few hundred meters from the larger Ko Lan, this small island is a paradise for relaxation. It offers a level of privacy and quietness that is hard to find on the main beaches of Pattaya. The island features two main shorelines North Beach and South Beach which are conveniently connected by a short walking path.

The main draw of Ko Sak is its crystal-clear water, allowing visitors to clearly see the sandy seabed and schools of tropical fish. The sand is exceptionally fine and white, making it ideal for sunbathing or enjoying quiet water activities. Furthermore, the island is surrounded by healthy coral reefs, making it a popular snorkeling destination where travelers can experience the vibrant underwater world up close.

In 2026, the atmosphere on Ko Sak remains naturally preserved. With no high-rise buildings or loud entertainment venues, the scenery is open and airy, with refreshing sea breezes throughout the day. It is the perfect spot for those seeking an authentic sea experience. Resting under the shade of coastal trees while looking out at the turquoise water is a rewarding and restorative experience.

For photographers and bloggers, Sak Island provides a variety of picturesque angles. Highlights include high-angle shots showing the island’s horseshoe shape and underwater photography in shallow areas where natural light reaches easily. The beauty here creates the feeling of being on a dream private island, making it a favorite for couples or groups of friends looking for "unseen" photo opportunities.


How to Get There
  • Speedboat: The most convenient method. You can charter a boat from Bali Hai Pier or directly from Pattaya/Jomtien Beach. The trip takes about 15–20 minutes.

  • Longtail Boat: If you are staying on Ko Lan (Tawaen Beach), you can take a budget-friendly longtail boat to Ko Sak. The crossing takes only 5–10 minutes.

  • Join Trip: You can purchase a one-day tour package from Pattaya that includes Ko Sak, Ko Lan, and Ko Phai in a single itinerary


Travel Tips
  • Best Time to Visit: November to April is when the water is clearest and the sea is calm, perfect for snorkeling and photography.

  • What to Bring: Please bring swimwear, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen, as there are limited shops on the island.

  • Photography: The best spots are the path connecting the two beaches and the rock formations at low tide, which reveal shallow-water corals.

  • Conservation: Help protect the environment by not stepping on or breaking the coral to ensure the nature remains beautiful for years to come.

  • Planning: There are no overnight accommodations on the island. Visitors typically come for a day trip, so be sure to check the return boat schedule clearly.
