Hat Sai Ree Beach is not only a beautiful beach but also a site of historical and cultural significance in Chumphon province. The northern hill area of the beach hosts the Krom Luang Chumphon Royal Shrine, built to honor Admiral Krom Luang Chumphon Khet Udomsak, known as the father of the Royal Thai Navy. The shrine serves as a memorial and a place for visitors to pay respect.

Descending to the beach area, the Chumphon Battleship (R.L. Chumphon), a large torpedo warship formerly in service with the Royal Thai Navy, is displayed onshore as a museum and memorial. Visitors can explore the ship and learn about its history while paying respect.

Hat Sai Ree Beach has wide, white sandy shores, clear sea water, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it ideal for relaxing, strolling along the beach, and swimming. Nearby, seafood restaurants and accommodations are available.

The shrine area also serves as a viewpoint with panoramic views of the sea and the beach. Visitors can conveniently continue their trip to nearby attractions such as Khao Chao Mueang (scenic viewpoint) and Pha Daeng Beach (hidden beach with red cliffs).
