Had Samran Beach is the main coastal area of Had Samran District in Trang Province and is home to the well-known Hundred-Year Pine Garden, a long stretch of beach lined with tall, shady pine trees. The atmosphere here is calm and laid-back, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking a relaxing escape close to nature.

The beach is characterized by its simple coastal charm. Visitors can stroll along the quiet shoreline, observe the daily routines of local fishermen, and see traditional fishing boats heading out to collect crabs, fish, and various kinds of shellfish. During low tide, the beach becomes a lively habitat for ghost crabs—a natural scene that adds to the unique character of the area.

Had Samran is also widely known for its delicious fresh seafood, offered by numerous local restaurants along the beach. Diners can enjoy dishes made from freshly caught fish, crabs, shrimp, squid, and shellfish while enjoying the sea breeze and the stunning views of the sunset, which often paints the sky with deep orange and ruby hues.

Nearby, Laem Ta Se is another notable spot, popular among nature enthusiasts and bird watchers. During low tide, various seabirds can be spotted along the mangroves and mudflats. The area is also ideal for photography due to its peaceful natural setting. Additionally, Had Samran hosts the annual “Bek Fah Had Samran: Fresh Seafood & Nature Festival”, which promotes local tourism and culture through food stalls, exhibits, and community activities.
