Kilometer long beach with a bakdrop with some trees that provide shades. Stong under water current and wavy when the wind picks up.

The beach is a delightful place to take a stroll, especially during the current season of January. However, during other times, the powerful waves and dangerous undertow make it unsuitable for anyone but the most skilled swimmers.

10 Exceptional

I highly recommend visiting the beach, which can be easily accessed by driving to the parking area and then taking a tuk tuk for a nominal fee of 20 baht per person one way. Alternatively, you can drive your own scooter to the beach, but walking in the heat would be quite far, so I suggest taking a tuk tuk instead. We arrived at 9am and were delighted to witness planes landing every 5-10 minutes, providing ample opportunities to capture stunning photographs and identify the perfect spot to do so.

The beach is a serene and peaceful spot with breathtaking vistas. It's an ideal location for a relaxing picnic lunch. However, the surf can be quite powerful, making it a great spot for water sports enthusiasts.

6 Pleasant

The beach is unfortunately littered with a considerable amount of debris. It's important to note that driving to the area where planes soar above is prohibited. Additionally, the parking area is quite distant from the beach access point.
