Paradise Beach Pattaya
Tucked away down Soi 4 from Sunset Boulevard, this small sandy beach offers a noticeably quieter alternative to Pattaya's busier shorelines. The beach is compact in size but benefits from clear, shallow water that makes it accessible for swimmers of all ages, including families with young children. Shaded areas, sun loungers, and umbrellas are available to rent, and a handful of bars and restaurants with authentic Thai food sellers round out the amenities without overwhelming the low-key atmosphere. The beach is largely shared between a couple of nearby hotels and a small number of visitors at any given time, which keeps it feeling relatively private compared to the main Pattaya strips. The westward-facing position makes it a particularly appealing spot for watching the sunset, and the shallow, clear water adds to the visual appeal during the drier months. Lounger rentals and nearby dining options mean visitors can comfortably spend a half or full day here without needing to venture far. Good to know: Litter has been an occasional concern at this beach, with local volunteer groups periodically organising clean-up efforts. Visitors are encouraged to take their rubbish with them when leaving, as bins are located at the top of the access path rather than on the beach itself. Arriving early in the day or on weekdays helps secure a good spot and a quieter experience. The beach is accessible on foot from nearby accommodation and is easy to reach independently without organised transport.

Visitor Reviews
A lovely sandy beach with authentic Thai sellers and a couple of bars. Loungers and umbrellas available to rent. Water is shallow so good for all ages. Only shared by a couple of hotels and private gated communities therefore not too busy. Would definitely recommend for a nice day by the water.
It's a fairly private beach. People are not crowded. The size of the beach area is quite limited. There are restaurants in the area. and nearby hotels, clear water beach, clean beach, partially shaded by trees, suitable for sunbathing and relaxing.
Nice, cozy, and quiet beach. I was there in January when the water decreased, the view was stunning with the green creature. The best place to watch the sunset.
Tips for Visiting Beaches & Islands
Check Monsoon Seasons
The Andaman coast (Phuket, Krabi) has rough seas from May to October. The Gulf coast (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan) is roughest from October to December. Plan your island-hopping around these windows.
Snorkel Gear Is Cheap to Buy
Rental gear is often scratched and ill-fitting. Buy a decent mask and snorkel at a Tesco Lotus or Big C for 300–500 THB — cheaper than two days of rentals and much more hygienic.
Book Ferries on 12Go.Asia
The 12Go platform lets you compare ferry operators, times, and prices between islands. Book a day or two ahead in high season. Avoid the cheapest operators if reviews mention safety concerns.
