When to go
The beach-day index peaks in November–February; December scores 9.4/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 28.1 °C and 11 mm of rain.
In December that is 0.7 points above the median of the 203 beaches in Thailand covered by this atlas.
Across the year the sea averages 29.1 °C, warmer than 98% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
September is the wettest month (295 mm) and December the driest (11 mm); the yearly total is about 1,580 mm.
Daylight runs from 11.4 hours in December to 12.9 hours in June; in mid-December the sun rises at 06:30 and sets at 17:52 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces west-south-west (255°). Open water fills about 44% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in every month; in mid-June it goes down at 18:42 local time on a bearing of 294°.
Straight out to the west-south-west the next coast is roughly 80 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 3 m deep and 7 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 8 m above sea level 500 m inland and 6 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 55% built-up land, 20% tree cover and 18% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 49% of that circle.
