The city's namesake 4 km curve of sand right off Beach Road. Not the cleanest or quietest, but it's the buzzing heart of Pattaya — jet-skis, vendors, parasailing and a front-row sunset over the bay.
The good
- Right in the middle of everything
- Long, walkable promenade
- Easy boat trips to Koh Larn
- Free and always open
The catch
- Busy and commercial
- Water is clearer elsewhere
- Vendors can be persistent
Best for: First-timers who want to be where the action is.
