Pattaya Beaches & Islands

Look across the ocean from Jomtien Beach or any beach in the Pattaya area and you will see Ko Larn. Larn island can be reached by ferry from the jetty in Pattaya. The ferry trip takes 40 minutes and costs 30 baht per person one way.

Popularly known as Coral Island, Koh Larn is situated about 7.7 Kilometers from the shoreline of Pattaya Beach. It occupies an area of about 4 square kilometers.

There are beautiful beaches, clear water, and some coral, not a lot but some. Visitors can view the coral from a glass-bottom boat. Ta Waen Beach in the northern part of Larn Island, is a 750 meter stretch of white sand with many stalls and shops. Sightseeing boats mostly dock in this area so it can get quite crowded. Avoid the crowds book your Koh Larn accomodation here. Save 75%.

Deep sea fishing can be arranged to some of Ko Larn's neighbouring islands such as Ko Krok and Ko Sak. Charters can be arranged to all the islands around Pattaya. You can arrange through a tour office at your hotel or direct with the various boat operators who can be found along Beach Road. Boat charters cost from 1000 to 5000 baht per day depending on the size of the boat and the season. More about Koh Larn.

Just a few more kilometers down the road from Nong Nooch Gardens you will find this delightful seaside village offering deep sea fishing excursions and sea food restaurants on the water's edge.

Drive along the beach about one kilometer from the town and you will find a park with outdoor restaurants and kiosks. The food is good and reasonably priced. More details about how to get there, photos and things to do can be found at PhotosPattaya.com.

This beach is getting closer to the tropical paradise kind of beach you would expect to find in Asia. There is no continuous stream of traffic running along it's edge like you find along Pattaya Beach Road and Jhomtien Beach ( Jomtien Beach ) yet it is close to the city.

There are fewer vendors than on the main beaches but some. It is popular with German tourists. Good food, lots of shade , sun, sand, and slightly cleaner sea.

Warning: Some unscrupulous taxi drivers will charge 10 times the regular rate to transport you to this beach. Our Pattaya Bar Girls e-book lists the regular rates for taxis, baht busses and motorbike taxis and offers tips and advice about how to avoid some of the traps which may be encountered while using the local transport.
