Naklua & Wong Amat Beach Guide

Wong Amat is a gently curving, approximately 3km-long beach. It occupies the far northern end of the Pattaya Bay headland, but is only accessible from Naklua (usually Sois 16 or 18). Unlike Pattaya Beach or Jomtien it is free of watersports activities, though that is likely to change. You can hire a deck chair and order some food at an open-air local restaurant, but there are no vendors walking up and down selling foods, drinks or curios. And few people, except for a few locals and those staying in nearby resorts. This lack of mass tourist apparatus, gives the place a secluded, intimate charm. Naklua Beach, further north, is similarly calm. It has a long fishing pier and windsurfing equipment can be hired.

Wong Amat Beach
This intimate, gently curving 2km long beach is found tucked around a headland just to the north of Pattaya Beach. It can be reached via the small lanes (sois) that run off Naklua Road towards the coast, and is around five minutes drive from Pattaya Beach. Several lofty condominium towers suggest this place is on the up but, for now at least, it's still very languid, a place to escape the masses. Apart from a Family Mart convenience stall there are no shops (the closest are on nearby main road Naklua), only a couple of restaurants, and no nightlife to speak of. Nearby Naklua Road has its fair share of restaurants, beer bars and shops though. (Note: Unless otherwise stated, all rooms have air-conditioning, TV and hot water.)
