Nangtong beach Nangtong beach is situated near Khao Lak . It is not a really a busy beach except sometimes in the high season. When the tide is in the beach becomes quite narrow in places. Also there is not much natural shade. There is no entry to the beach in front of some resorts which are situated very close to the ocean.

Bang Niang beach Bang Niang beach is similar to Nangtong beach with little natural shade here too. At high tide you cannot walk along the beach in some places in front of the resorts or hotels because the water is too high with waves crashing against their retaining walls.

Kukkak beach Kukkak beach is one of the most beautiful beaches with big, wide and deserted landscapes. There are only a few resorts and you are mostly undisturbed with newly planted Italian stone pine providing good shade.

Pakarang beach Pakarang beach follows on from Kukkak beach. This is a lovely beach but at some parts it is not possible to swim because there are a lot of stones and corals which are painful if you walk on them.

Pakweeb beach Around the point at Cape Pakarang, Pakweeb beach, which continues on to become Bangsak Beach, is felt by most to be the most beautiful stretch of the Khao Lak coastline. There are many kilometres of mostly deserted beach with only a few resorts and restaurants. About half way along it is Aow (Oeow) thong beach, more famously known as White Sand Beach, a popular place for day trippers with its beautiful sand, sloping gently into the ocean and three good restaurants and bars. There is plenty of natural shade here but other parts of this very long beach are more exposed.
