Hat Pharadonphap is a beach with a unique character and significance in both nature and history in Chumphon Province.

The beach features a long curved sandy shore, clean sand, clear water, and gentle waves, suitable for swimming and relaxation. A highlight of the beach is the coconut tree-lined road, creating a shaded and iconic southern coastal atmosphere.

The name “Pharadonphap” or Brotherhood originates from a key event during World War II. On December 8, 1941, the Japanese army landed at this beach to occupy Chumphon. After the battle between Thai and Japanese forces ended, both sides signed a peace and friendship treaty here. This gave the beach its name, symbolizing friendship and post-war peace.

Beyond its historical importance, Hat Pharadonphap retains its natural beauty. Nearby is the Pak Nam Chumphon fishing village, where visitors can see local fishing boats and experience the simple lifestyle of coastal communities.

Visitors can enjoy various activities such as beach walks, swimming, kayaking, or paddleboarding, and can also enjoy fresh seafood from the restaurants and cafés along the beach.
