[2025 Pattaya Attraction] Travel Guide for Wong Amat Beach (Updated Jul)

Pattaya’s known for its buzzing beaches and nightlife, but if you’re craving a quieter slice of paradise, its hidden shores are where it’s at. Far from the crowds of Pattaya Beach, these seven lesser-known beaches offer pristine sands, clear waters, and local charm. We’ve scoured traveler tips to bring you the best spots for a laid-back coastal day, perfect for chilling and snapping dreamy photos. Here’s your guide to Pattaya’s secret beaches! 1️⃣ Naklua Beach: The Local Hangout Just north of Pattaya Beach, Naklua feels like a step back to old-school Thailand. Golden sands, gentle waves, and great views make it a chill spot for strolls. Locals love its relaxed vibe, and you’ll dodge the tourist hustle here. Grab a songthaew from Pattaya City Center for a quick ride. ➜ Fun fact: Naklua was once a sleepy fishing village before Pattaya’s boom. 2️⃣ Wong Amat Beach: The Secluded Star Tucked at the northern tip of Pattaya Beach, Wong Amat is Pattaya’s cleanest gem, with soft white sand and crystal-clear waters. It’s perfect for private sunbathing or a quiet swim, far from the main beach’s buzz. It's ideal for privacy and relaxation, with some water fun options available, including water skis. Easily reached by taxi from downtown. 3️⃣ Ban Amphur Beach: The Foodie Haven About 20 km south near Sattahip (40-minute taxi ride), Ban Amphur boasts pristine sands and clear waters, ideal for swimming. By evening, it transforms into a foodie paradise with local vendors serving fresh seafood along the pier. Perfect for swimmers and food lovers. Bring cash for evening eats. ➜ Fun fact: The nearby Srinuan Seafood Restaurant is a local legend for crab dishes. 4️⃣ Sai Kaew Beach: The Navy’s Gem In Sattahip, 30 km south, Sai Kaew Beach is run by the Royal Thai Navy, keeping it spotless with soft sands and clear waters. It’s a serene spot for swimming or sunbathing, with a calmness that's almost military-grade. Visit midweek for max tranquility. Its navy oversight ensures a clean, uncrowded vibe. 5️⃣ Nang Ram Beach: The Picnic Paradise Also in Sattahip, Nang Ram dazzles with white sand, clear blue waters, and tree-shaded spots perfect for picnics or snorkeling. It’s a local go-to for a relaxed day by the sea. Pack a picnic and snap the shaded shoreline for a tropical vibe. Nearby Nang Rong Beach doubles your space to explore. 6️⃣ Bamboo Beach: The Quiet Retreat Just 5.4 km from Pattaya’s center, Bamboo Beach is a hidden gem, boasting pristine white sand and shallow, calm waters, set against a backdrop of green hills. Quaint cafes nearby add a cozy touch. Its name comes from the bamboo-lined paths leading to the shore. 7️⃣ Pratumnak Beach: The Luxe Hideaway Near Jomtien, Pratumnak is a clean, less-crowded beach with soft golden sand and clear waters, shaded by exotic trees. Its upscale vibe, thanks to nearby resorts, feels like a private island. These hidden beaches are your ticket to Pattaya’s quieter side, perfect for a peaceful day by the sea.

Pattaya is a sea near Bangkok that many people like to go there because there are many sea islands, such as Koh Pai, Koh Larn, Pattaya Beach, Wong Amat Beach, Jomtien Beach, and entertainment venues such as walking streets, cafes, and many delicious restaurants.

This beach may be hidden because the journey is only by walking along the beach. 🏝️ Many rocks show us what nature was like in its original state and the way of life of the small fishermen there, who sit and weave nets on the shore. ⛵️ Although this beach is no longer hidden, there are delicious restaurants like Buathong Beach or many shops selling squid sashimi on the way down to the beach, but the atmosphere is still peaceful. 🍃 Especially during sunset 🌅 What we see more than just raising our phones to take pictures is many groups of tourists sitting and watching the orange light in the sky until it slowly disappears at the edge of the horizon. 🌥️ This is still another place to relax where we like to recharge our batteries, leave behind many stories, and always receive words of encouragement from the sea breeze when we return home. ✌🏻 "Secret Beach, Pattaya" ✨ #PattayaAttractions #BeautifulIslandsInThailand #MissNature

#tripmission Today, I will take everyone to see a secret beach in Pattaya that not many people know about. This is Wong Amat Beach 🏝️ located on the Pattaya Naklua side. Whoever comes to sit on this beach will get a private beach feel because there are not many tourists. You can swim and have fun. The water is very clear and inviting. But I recommend coming in the evening. The atmosphere is very good. Sit and enjoy the evening sea breeze and watch the sunset. Anyone who comes to visit Pattaya, I recommend this place. 🏝️💖

Nowadays, more and more tourists are coming to visit, making it a gathering place for people. It may be because there are big trees, rocks, children playing in the water, activities for adults to wait for their children, and this beach has become a lively beach. It is unbelievable that there are so many people gathering here. The highlight here is the fresh seafood lined up for purchase from fishermen on the beach. If you are hungry, you can eat seafood at a reasonable price. If you want to come here, you have to be prepared for the rules and cleanliness. I would like to ask the Pattaya Municipality to develop it into a sustainable tourist spot. #tripmission #pattaya #secretpattayabeach

Plus, the taste is great, delicious and most importantly, the price is easy on the pocket. But!! If you go here on Saturday-Sunday, you have to be prepared and allow some time to eat because you have to wait in line like playing musical chairs.

Many Thais grew up eating grilled squid with sweet sauce, which would be visited by uncles or aunties pushing carts in front of their houses. The upper and lower ones are divided according to the size and price that you want to choose. Grilled squid that is fragrant and long is a great snack. And if you have the opportunity to sit and eat by the sea, a chill atmosphere, a cool breeze with a bottle of cold beer, it would be a time that is truly worth relaxing.
