Sunset Beach

Sunset Beach is a small, quiet beach located on the small Koh Kradan island. It is known for its clear waters, moderate waves, and deep enough waters for a decent swim. The beach is accessible through a 20-minute fairly easy walk through a narrow jungle path from Paradise Beach. However, visitors should note that there are no shops, shade, bars, restaurants, or toilets available on the beach. Despite the lack of amenities, the beach offers a peaceful escape from mass tourism, which has increased since the beach's best beach in the world rating in March 2023. On average, the beach receives about 2000 visitors per day.

One of the main attractions of Sunset Beach is its stunning sunset views. Visitors are advised to bring their own drinks as there are no bars or restaurants on the beach. The beach is also a perfect place to relax, whether alone or with a group of friends. However, visitors are advised to arrive early to secure a good spot as the beach can get crowded.

Despite its beauty, Sunset Beach has a problem with plastic garbage from the ocean, which can be a bit depressing. However, the beach is still a lovely place for swimming and has lovely sand.

Sunset Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, July 24, 2026
Today is a poor choice for a beach visit to Sunset Beach, as unsettled conditions will dominate your time by the water. You should anticipate frequent rain showers throughout the day, which will keep the skies mostly blanketed in heavy clouds. It will feel quite breezy along the shore, with winds strong enough to make lounging uncomfortable. While the sea temperature is warm at 30.9 °C, the incoming rain and moderate wave activity make it less than ideal for a relaxing swim. If you do head out, be mindful that the UV Index is high at 8.1, so sun protection is still necessary even with the cloud cover. Please exercise caution near the water due to the active weather pattern and choose a safer activity until conditions improve.
