This intimate, gently curving 2km long beach is found tucked around a headland just to the north of Pattaya Beach. It can be reached via the small lanes (sois) that run off Naklua Road towards the coast, and is around five minutes drive from Pattaya Beach. Several lofty condominium towers suggest this place is on the up but, for now at least, it's still very languid, a place to escape the masses. Apart from a Family Mart convenience stall there are no shops (the closest are on nearby main road Naklua), only a couple of restaurants, and no nightlife to speak of. Nearby Naklua Road has its fair share of restaurants, beer bars and shops though. (Note: Unless otherwise stated, all rooms have air-conditioning, TV and hot water.) |
