    Jomtien Beach

    A long mainland beach south of central Pattaya, best for visitors who want space, straightforward food and chair services, and a calmer base while the middle section undergoes phased sand nourishment.

  • Pattaya Bay curving past the waterfront skyline, seen from a green hillside.

    BeachesCentral Pattaya

    Pattaya Beach

    Central Pattaya's public city beach, suited to promenade walks, sunsets and an easy stop beside hotels and malls rather than a guaranteed quiet or clear-water swimming day.

  • BeachesCentral Pattaya

    Tien Beach

    A small west-coast Koh Larn beach reached by a pedestrian bridge from its parking area, suited to a calmer island stop when visitors can manage the final walk.

  • BeachesPratumnak Hill

    Cosy Beach

    A compact cove below Pratumnak Hill for a short swim or sunset stop, with stair access, limited space and fewer dependable services than Pattaya's larger beaches.

  • BeachesNaklua

    Naklua Beach

    A working waterfront beside old Naklua's fishing community and Lan Pho seafood market, better for a market walk and shoreline views than a conventional swimming day.

  • BeachesCentral Pattaya

    Nual Beach

    A quieter, rockier Koh Larn beach for self-sufficient visitors who value a small setting over easy swimming, extensive services or direct ferry access.

  • BeachesCentral Pattaya

    Samae Beach

    A developed west-coast Koh Larn beach with a relatively calm setting, a long sand strip and island services, reached after the public ferry and a separate cross-island transfer.

  • BeachesCentral Pattaya

    Tawaen Beach

    Koh Larn's principal activity and arrival beach, suited to first-time visitors who want the broadest service fallback and can accept boats, watersports and heavier use.

  • BeachesCentral Pattaya

    Tong Lang Beach

    A small Koh Larn beach beside Tawaen with a quieter setting, swimming water and some visitor activities, but far fewer fallback services than the island's main arrival beach.

  • BeachesNaklua

    Wong Amat Beach

    A north-Pattaya beach along the Naklua-Wong Amat peninsula, useful for a calmer mainland day but now popular enough that space, access and cleanliness vary.
