This beach is a part of the famous Chaweng beach, lying to its south around a promontory. Chaweng Noi means Little Chaweng.

The beach is beautiful with fine white sand and aquamarine waters. Coral reefs are located close to the land with two small islands near it. This makes it the perfect destination for swimming, snorkeling and kayaking.

The north end of the beach is rather isolated, but the middle portion is crowded with tourists and vendors selling a variety of items. Anything from fruits, beverages, ice cream and local delicacies are sold in the beach area itself. The shops lining the beach sell handicrafts and souvenirs.

The beach used to be dirty. The developers has taken it upon themselves to keep it clean to attract more tourists. Mostly young tourists and families come here.

The beach has to be accessed through hotels, as there are no beach roads. On normal days, the beach is not crowded, however during peak season it has more people coming. The water is clean and warm – perfect for water activities.

Lying parallel to the beach is a row of shops, restaurants, fast food counters, bars, souvenir shops and convenience stores. This is the main shopping center of Koh Samui.
