Ao Nid, Koh Mak
The small working harbour on Koh Mak's south-east corner, and one of the island's arrival piers.
Ao Nid, Koh Mak
Ao Nid is the sheltered inlet on the south-east corner of Koh Mak and functions as the island's working harbour. Fishing boats and the wooden ferries moor at the pier here, and it is one of the points at which visitors arrive from the mainland.
It is not a swimming beach - the shore is mangrove and rock rather than sand - and that is what makes it worth seeing. The village around the pier is where the island's day-to-day life happens: boat repairs, ice, the shops and a few simple restaurants over the water.
Koh Mak is small enough to cross in a few minutes, so Ao Nid is a short ride from the beaches on the opposite coast, and it is the departure point for boats to Koh Kham and the smaller islands nearby.
- Ao Kao, Koh Mak — The long south-west beach of Koh Mak, and the island's main stretch of sand.
- Ao Suan Yai, Koh Mak — The north-west bay of Koh Mak, looking across the water to the hills of Koh Chang.
