Pak Nam Rayong and Laem Charoen Beach are seaside tourist areas located near the heart of Rayong city. Their defining characteristic is the mouth of the Rayong River where it flows into the Gulf of Thailand, creating a unique estuary landscape that seamlessly blends the traditional fishing community lifestyle with an urban seaside atmosphere. Traditional fishing boats and longtail boats are still lined up along the riverbanks, reflecting the enduring way of life for local fishermen alongside urban development.

In recent years, Laem Charoen Beach has been developed into a lifestyle and leisure area for Rayong residents. A seaside promenade, seafood restaurants, and small cafes are scattered along the coastline. Tourists and locals alike enjoy the sea breeze in the evenings, witnessing the sunset over the horizon with the shadows of fishing boats and the expansive horizon.

While this area doesn't boast fine white sand or direct swimming, its highlight is its accessible seaside town atmosphere. It's perfect for strolling, relaxing, and enjoying fresh seafood from local vendors offering grilled seafood, single-dish meals, and cafes designed to fully embrace the sea breeze. This area has become an important meeting point for both locals and tourists visiting Rayong city.

Furthermore, the Rayong estuary is geographically significant as it is the point where the Rayong River flows into the sea. This results in a diverse ecosystem, encompassing both brackish and coastal ecosystems, where traditional fishing methods can still be found in some areas. The blend of nature, traditional lifestyle, and tourism gives this area a unique character that sets it apart from the typical tourist beaches of Rayong province.
