A 6 km beach just south of Pattaya, quieter and more family-friendly than Pattaya Beach itself. It's popular for watersports, including jet skis, parasailing and, when the wind is up, windsurfing and kitesurfing.


The beach road is lined with restaurants, souvenir shops and food stalls, and the best seafood restaurants are towards the southern end. Sun loungers and umbrellas can be hired along the beach. Pattaya Park water park and tower is at the northern end.


Baht buses (songthaews) run from Pattaya along the beach road, and Jomtien is about 2 hours by road from Bangkok.
