The beach stretches in a crescent-shaped bay with calm waves almost all year round, perfect for swimming, playing in the water, or kayaking all year round.

Tourists also enjoy kayaking to explore the cliffs or walking across the hill to Thong Nai Pan Noi Beach to experience a different atmosphere.
