Patar is a long beach, and there are smaller coves further along the coast that almost never see another visitor. Some you can reach by walking a kilometre or two along the sand. Others you reach by hiring a small boat from one of the local boatmen at the main beach.
Ask the caretakers if you want to do this. They can call a boatman for the morning, and tell you which coves are best for the season. A good half-day plan if you want a swim somewhere that feels like only you found it.
