Bophut Beach Hotels
These pictures are of Bophut Beach starting from the west and moving to the east. The beach has soft beautiful sand on the western half then the sand grows more pebbly and coarse as you walk (east) towards the Anantara (the last hotel directly on the beach) and Fisherman’s Village. I, personally, do not mind this type of sand but some people do wish they had stayed farther down the beach (to the west) where the sand is finer.
