Jomtien Beach: this six-kilometres long, largely straight beach, only four kilometres south of Pattaya, is the most notable of several beaches south of the resort. It is popular with windsurfers and water sports enthusiasts since the area enjoys brisk, sea breezes from the Thai Gulf, and there are fewer boats than is Pattaya Bay. Jomtien is also a major residential area with beachside hotels, bungalow complexes, condominiums and restaurants.
Larn Island: Koh Larn, situated to the West of Pattaya Strait, about 7.7 Kilometres from the shore, covers an area of about four square kilometres, popularly known as Coral Island and is 45 minutes by ferry or 20 minutes by speed boat from Pattaya Beach. There are also Laemtien Beach and Samae Beach on the south-western side. Both are beautiful and interesting spots, especially Laemtien Beach which has remained exceptionally clean and tranquil. Ta Pan Beach on the western part of the island is 500 meters long with rustic lodging available. On weekends and holidays, sightseeing boats usually anchor along this beach all the way to Laem tie where there is coral. On the southern part is Nual Beach 450 meters in length. On this beach is a hotel. This is another good place for viewing coral. Krok Island: is a small island eight kilometres from the shore. The island comprises mostly rocks. Only one sandy-beach on the east of the island is found here. Sak Island: is only 600 meters from Koh Larn. It is shaped like a horseshoe. It has two beaches, one on the northern cove 250 meters in length, and where boats stop for tourists to swim and snorkel. is only 600 meters from Koh Larn. It is shaped like a horseshoe.
