The beach stretches some seven kilometres from the hill in the south called Khao Takiap, where the temple Wat Khao Takiap is located. The beach is wide and long with beautiful white sand with rocks in in some areas. Some parts of the beach are relatively tranquil but in contrast activities such as horse riding, kite boarding, and water sports can also be found here.
