“A perfect relaxation area featuring the widest sandy beach on the island and an estuary ecosystem connected to Klong Phlu Waterfall, offering a diverse experience of both freshwater and seawater in one location.”

Klong Prao Beach is a large, continuous beach stretching for several kilometers, located in the central part of Koh Chang's west coast. The standout geography of this beach is its vast width_ and very gentle slope. During low tide, a massive sand-flat emerges, providing ample space for walking or recreational activities. Another natural highlight is Klong Prao, the main canal that flows from Klong Phlu Waterfall through mangrove forests to meet the sea at the bay's mouth. This creates a stunning large lagoon landscape surrounded by lush greenery and uniquely situated waterfront resorts.

The uniqueness in terms of diversity of activities and ecosystems makes Klong Prao Beach more than just a place for swimming. It serves as a vital center for eco-tourism activities. Tourists can kayak from the canal out to the open sea to witness the contrasting environments. In the evening, firefly boat tours along the well-preserved mangrove lines of Klong Prao canal are available. The atmosphere here emphasizes peace and privacy more than White Sand Beach, yet remains convenient with premium restaurants and local shops scattered around the Klong Prao village area.

In terms of relaxation and aesthetics, Klong Prao Beach is renowned for having the most beautiful and organized rows of coconut trees living up to its name Klong Prao or Coconut Canal. During the evening, this beach serves as a vast sunset viewing point with no obstructions. The golden-orange light hits the wet sand, creating a massive Mirror Effect reflection. This charm makes the beach highly popular among families and couples seeking a spacious and quiet retreat.

For nature photographers and artists, the Klong Prao estuary is a strategic spot to capture the way of life of local fishermen mooring their boats. The perfect contrast between modern resorts and traditional waterfront wooden houses provides great inspiration for Life and Landscape photography. Additionally, the beach's width_ during low tide—with small tide pools scattered across the sand creates new dimensions and unique perspectives for artistic composition.

Klong Prao Beach is the perfect answer for those seeking a multi-experience vacation. Whether it is strolling on soft sand, tasting seafood by the canal, or kayaking to explore the mangroves, every second here allows you to feel the abundance of Koh Chang, which firmly maintains the breath of nature. It is a destination that will make your visit to Koh Chang more meaningful and profound.
