“A tranquil sandy beach with high privacy, featuring a scenic seaside walkway and one of the most breathtaking sunset views in all of Pattaya.”
Pratumnak Beach is a charming coastal stretch located at the foot of Pratumnak Hill, serving as a peaceful link between South Pattaya and Jomtien. Despite its proximity to the city's vibrant center, it retains a quiet and serene atmosphere away from the noisy nightlife, allowing visitors to truly hear the rhythmic sound of waves. The beach is characterized by its golden sands and water that is notably clearer and cleaner than the main Pattaya coastline.
The unique charm of this beach lies in its cleanliness and orderly environment. Surrounded by luxury hotels, upscale condominiums, and proximity to royal residence grounds, the area is meticulously maintained. There is significantly less noise from jet skis and speedboats here, making it a "hidden gem" for those who wish to relax with a book or enjoy a peaceful nap under the shade of tropical trees.
A popular activity for locals and tourists alike is strolling or jogging along the scenic seaside footpath that winds along the coast toward Dongtan Beach. As evening approaches, the atmosphere turns incredibly romantic. The golden hour light creates a stunning silhouette of Koh Larn on the horizon, making it a favorite gathering spot for families and couples to enjoy a seaside picnic or a meal at one of the many nearby boutique restaurants.
