• Pattaya Beaches

While Pattaya’s main beach is heavily developed and busy, several alternative beaches offer better swimming and a more relaxed atmosphere.

  • Jomtien Beach, 3 km south of the main Pattaya Bay, is quieter and more family-oriented, with a wider beach, calmer water, and a less intense development profile.
  • Wongamat Beach, at the northern end of Pattaya Bay, is more upscale and quieter, popular with families and couples seeking a more peaceful beach experience within the city.
  • The offshore island of Koh Larn offers significantly better sand and water quality than any of the mainland beaches and is considered the best beach near Pattaya.
