This long stretch of coast extends from the bottom of Ban Nam Khem, right to Khao Lak national park - Lam Ru. The entire stretch features wide sandy beaches with plentiful shade from the rows of fir and coconut trees that run alongside, with rock formations of various sizes and shapes interspersing the sand. The water is perfect for swimming or paddling and there are also watersports available, including skim boarding and SUP boarding, leading to the area being widely known as Thailand’s "Surf Town".
Khao Lak is also renowned for being one of the Andaman coast’s most breathtaking sunset spots as well as being home to popular tourist attractions like Memories Beach, Had Nang Thong (Black Sand Beach), The Khao Lak Lighthouse, Kuek Kak Beach, Pak Weep Beach, Bang Sak Beach and many more. Most of the Beaches here features impressive accommodation options as well as shops and restaurants for convenience.
