“The reddish-orange cliff, about 10 meters high, stands majestically by the sea. It is a rare natural landmark, perfect for travelers seeking tranquility and impressive landscape photography.”
Pha Daeng Beach Chumphon is a small, peaceful beach hidden within Mueang Chumphon District. It is an unseen check-in spot that many travelers dream of visiting. Its highlight is the large reddish–orange cliff, standing boldly by the sea, about 10 meters high, featuring beautiful natural patterns and colors that change tones with the sunlight.
Visitors can admire the cliff from several angles — from the viewpoint above, offering panoramic sea views, or by walking down to the beach below to experience the cliff’s beauty up close. The surrounding sandy area is calm and ideal for relaxation, photography, and nature exploration.
Pha Daeng Beach also offers facilities for overnight stays, such as the “Pha Daeng Chom Dao” camping spot, where visitors can enjoy a 180-degree sea view and a stunning sunset. It is perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends who seek tranquility and a truly natural atmosphere.
Additionally, nearby there is a small nature trail for those who love hiking, where visitors can observe local plants and sometimes spot small marine creatures living among the rocks. Travelers are encouraged to respect nature and maintain cleanliness to preserve the beauty of Pha Daeng Beach for future generations.
How to Get There
- By private car/rental: Follow the route to Hat Sai Ri Beach. Upon arrival, look for signs or use GPS navigation to reach “Pha Daeng Beach,” which is located nearby.
- By public transport/songthaew (local bus): Take a Chumphon–Hat Sai Ri songthaew. The stop is beside the City Pillar Shrine or in front of the Chumphon Municipality Public Health Office. The songthaew stops at the entrance to the Prince of Chumphon Shrine, which is the final stop of the main route. Pha Daeng Beach is about 1.7–2.1 kilometers from there, and travelers can hire a local motorcycle taxi to reach the beach.

- The “Pha Daeng Chom Dao” camping area is a great option for those wishing to stay overnight, enjoy the sea breeze, and take in panoramic views.
- Wear appropriate footwear for walking on rocky and sloping sand surfaces to ensure safety.
- Bring sun protection and drinking water, as the area is open and can be quite hot.
