Any Good Beaches Around Town?

[hinhua]

Hello.

Just remembered to ask whether there are any nice beaches around town? I have been already to the main beach, but not yet to koa takiap. What's there and is it worth visiting?

On the local beach there's a kind of reggae bar halfway down which was really nice, seems like a good place and was popular too. Lots of dogs and some scary looking locals though he he.

I met a guy who suggested I should go to some other beaches further south but I can't remember which ones now. I've been to cha-am beach already which I think is rather nice.

Thankyou.

The further south you go, the better the beaches get.

If you want a beach with services (chairs, tables, and small restaurants that will bring you food and drink, then try Takiab beach SOUTH of the mountain. It is a much nicer place to sit and enjoy than the beach from Hua Hin to the north side of the mountain.

Just a little further south past the new golf course you have Sea Pines Beach on the military base. That is a very nice beach with a cheap Thai restaurant and if you want a deserted beach walk south from there and you will probably see no one from Sea Pines to Kao Tao (where there are some more nice beaches).

Thanks, I went to take a look at Kao Takiap the other day. Thaivisa also seem to have some details on this, so I was thinking about the other beaches a bit further south too. There weren't many people at the beach, which is just how I like it actually. Not sure whether to drive the whole way though judging by the traffic on the main road, but seems manageable when it's quiet.

Thankyou

Military beach is the best one closest to HH.
