Wagor Beach (Had Wa Ko) is a serene beach located in Khlong Wan, Prachuap Khiri Khan, known for its simplicity and profound natural charm. The shoreline stretches gently with soft sand, offering a perfect, peaceful retreat away from the crowds of commercial beaches.

Historical Significance: The area's greatest claim to fame is its intrinsic link to Thai history. Had Wa Ko is the site where King Mongkut (Rama IV) accurately predicted and observed a total solar eclipse in 1868. This event solidified his title as the "Father of Thai Science," and the adjacent area is now dedicated to this legacy.

The beach is framed by the Waghor mountain range, offering a distinctive combination of sea and mountain views ideal for photography, especially during the beautiful morning hours. The shallow, gentle gradient of the water makes it exceptionally safe for children and casual swimming.

Activities and Landmarks: Visitors can enjoy various light activities, including relaxing, swimming, or cycling along the well-maintained coastal road and designated cycling path. The beach is located next to the King Mongkut Memorial Park of Science and Technology at Waghor, which houses the Waghor Aquarium and various astronomy and science exhibits, making it a comprehensive destination for family education and relaxation.

Local life is centered around small, authentic businesses. Seaside restaurants offer delicious, freshly caught seafood, and local homestays provide comfortable lodging right next to the shore, ensuring guests have easy access to the beach for cool evening walks or sunrise viewing. Had Wa Ko’s peaceful setting and historical significance make it an ideal destination for anyone seeking both tranquility and cultural insight.
