To reach this stunning beach, take the road leading to mango bay and turn right at the coordinates 10.115061, 99.836815. A short distance down the road, you will spot a sign for Por Jai View. Turn left to reach Por Jai View or head right for the trail leading to the beach. Upon arrival at Por Jai View, you will be greeted by two friendly dogs, one of which is lazy and prefers to snooze all day, while the other is full of energy and can guide you to the beach. If you are lucky enough to meet the owner, you can ask to walk with the dog. Por Jai View offers camping facilities and refreshments for purchase. The trail leading to the beach is well-defined, so even without the dog, you can easily navigate your way there. However, if you wish to visit the lighthouse, it may not be visible from the beach, and the dog may be too busy frolicking in the sea to guide you. In this case, you need to head north, keeping left as you enter the beach, and walk across the rocks for about 100 or 200 meters. With some luck, you will discover a trail leading up the hill. It is advisable to download a backcountry navigator app or any other app with the preloaded trail map to follow the trail. Although Google Maps can give you a rough idea of the lighthouse's location and your position in relation to it, it does not have the trail marked.

The path leading from the hilltop to the sea takes about 30 minutes and passes through the jungle. It's advisable to wear sturdy shoes and bring insect repellent. Although there are no sandy beaches, there are plenty of rocks to explore. Unfortunately, the area is heavily polluted with plastic waste, making it challenging to access the water. Despite these drawbacks, the location is incredibly isolated.

Reaching this beach was quite a challenge as we attempted to walk, but eventually opted for kayaking. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we found the beach to be strewn with shattered glass bottles, posing a significant safety hazard. The snorkeling experience in the vicinity of the beach was average, with limited visibility due to the sandy conditions, but it improved as we ventured further out.

This beach is a fantastic location to explore the underwater world through snorkeling. The journey to reach the beach is a pleasant walk amidst the lush green forest, which adds to the overall experience. The only means of reaching the beach is either by foot or by boat, which makes it a secluded and peaceful location. Don't forget to visit the Lighthouse while you're there, as it offers stunning views from the top and is definitely worth the climb.
