Hat Yao

Hat Yao is a long sandy beach in Mai Fat Subdistrict, Sikao District, Trang Province, southern Thailand. Located on the Andaman Sea coast, it stretches for about 6 kilometers and is lined with casuarina pines. It is known for its quiet, natural setting near Hat Chao Mai National Park, calm waters, and views of offshore islands, offering a less developed alternative to more commercial beaches in Trang.

Visitors can expect a wide, straight sandy shoreline backed by casuarina trees with open views of the Andaman Sea and nearby islands such as Koh Kradan and Koh Muk on clear days. The beach is relatively quiet and natural, with shallow water at low tide, fishing boats anchored offshore, and small local restaurants and resorts along the road behind the beach. Areas are suitable for walking, relaxing, swimming and photography with no large commercial developments directly on the sand.
