It is the part of Pattaya that works for children: gentler water, a wide promenade, and none of Walking Street's noise. Ten minutes from the centre and a different town.
How to visit it well
- The far south end near Na Jomtien is the quietest.
- Beach chairs are rented by the day; agree the price first.
- Eat seafood at the Na Jomtien restaurants rather than the beach vendors.
