Jomtien Beach

Jomtien Beach is a renowned sandy beach in Pattaya. It is a rather narrow shoreline 6 km long. The drawbacks of its popularity are crowds of people around and no crystal clear waters. Despite that, the place pleases its visitors with its diverse infrastructure. It does not offer only loungers and umbrellas traditional for Pattaya beaches. It has sports grounds housing frequent sporting events. You can rent windsurfing equipment, try water cycling or banana boat rides. Tourists visit the nearby Night Food Market Jomtien selling the most delicious pad Thai in the city, chill out in bars, clubs and restaurants, get a retreat in massage salons.

Jomtien Beach is the longest beach in the Thailand's seashore. Stretching for 6 km, the sandy shoreline does not exceed 10 m on average

The hotel near the central Jomtien beach is ideal for people looking for budget rest options within an easy reach to versatile entertainments.

You can get to the beach from the central bus station by songthaew (tuk-tuk) for 10 bahts.

Wongamat Beach

Wongamat Beach is one of the most ecologically clean beaches in the city. It is located in a quiet, idyllic, and cozy area of Pattaya. Within 10 m from the shore, the sea is rather shallow and is perfect for families with kids. The place offers comfortable loungers and beach umbrellas. There is a fenced-protected area in the centre where tourists have water cycles, skis and banana boats at their disposal. The sandy shoreline is rather impressive here – it reaches 20-30 m. Friendly Thais fetch treats on trays, so you can have a bite right on your lounger.

Managers of the first and second line hotels speak fluent English, lots of local restaurants translate their menus into English. Actually, the only people you would come across there are only guests from the vicinity hotels and a few foreigners.

Ambassador Beach

The sandy Ambassador Beach neighbors with the 4-star hotel with the same name near Pattaya. All the beachfront in Thailand is municipal, so Ambassador is open for everyone. The sand and waters are clearer than in Jomtien, and the place for recreation is bigger there.

Its guests can have meals at the hotel restaurant or a budget café nearby offering a wide seafood menu.

You can get to Ambassador Beach on your own by a rented car or public transport for 20-30 min.

Pattaya Beach

Pattaya Beach is the most popular and busy beach at the resort. There are numerous hotels and hostels nearby. They provide various classes of convenience, and room prices correspondingly. Their guests can go to shopping malls, cafes with inexpensive meals and cheap drinks. The beach is thoroughly cleaned by municipal services but workers do not always succeed in the peak season. You can rent a lounger with a beach umbrella, catamaran or water scooter here. Boat parachuting and other activities are available as well.

Right from Pattaya Beach, you can get to the famous street of the city – Walking Street – to discover endless bars, massage salons, and all sorts of clubs.

A ride on a public songthaew from Wongmat or Jomptien beaches would cost you 10 bahts, from the Northern bus station – 20 bahts.

Koh Larn beaches

The beaches of the coral island Koh Larn within a 30-min ferry voyage are all about white sand, azure sea, and serenity.

The island houses beaches to anyone’s liking: rather crowdy, with a well-developed infrastructure (Tawaen, Same, Tien), semi-wild small beaches (Nual – Monkey beach), Tayay, Sangwan) and virgin-pure wild beaches available only from the sea.

Koh Larn tourists would never forget diving, snorkeling, sea fishing as well as riding on omnipresent catamarans, banana boats, and water bikes.

Koh Lipe beaches

Dancing Girl Beach

The sandy beach Hath Nang Ram known as Dancing Girl Beach is the cleanest beach area near Pattaya. White sand, pure sea and unparalleled atmosphere make it an ideal place for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxation.

An ancient legend tells that the locals used to hear a splendid melody from the uninhabited island Koh Nang Ram across the sea. It stirred a dancing girl in their imagination. The beach owes her its extraordinary name ever since

A bungalow of the local hotel, a couple of cafes with delicious food and souvenir shops keep a little aside. The beach is located in the picturesque Sattahip harbor, 40 km away from Pattaya. It is perfect for people seeking remote sea recreation, far from noisy entertainment venues.
