About this place

This beach offers the most authentic local experience with traditional longtail boats, local markets, and family-run seafood restaurants. The water stays shallow for quite a distance, making it perfect for families with small children. Thursday's walking street market in Maenam village is excellent for trying local street food and buying handmade crafts - arrive early to get the freshest catches from local fishermen.
