Why go, and how to do it well
Situated along the Prachuap Khiri Khan coastline within Sam Roi Yot district, this beach serves primarily as the departure point for boat trips to the renowned Phaya Nakhon Cave, one of the region's most celebrated natural attractions. Rather than a conventional resort beach, it functions as a scenic and practical base for exploring the surrounding coastline, drawing visitors who pair a coastal stop with cave visits, island hopping, and excursions through nearby mangrove swamps and fishermen's villages.
The beach itself is a long stretch of mixed sand and mud with a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. Water clarity is modest, but the setting is pleasant and several restaurants are within easy reach. Boat rides depart from here at reasonable prices, carrying groups of around five to six passengers to the cave entrance and surrounding points of interest. Taking the boat is strongly favored over the overland hike, particularly in warmer months, as it saves considerable time and effort. At the cave destination, visitors will find seating and shaded areas to rest and take in the surroundings.

Reviews from Google
You can get the boat ride at reasonable price. Each boat can take about 5-6 people. You can go around small islands and fishermen villages near the coast and mangrove swamp. Highly recommended for elderly and parents with kids that do not want to climb up to the cave.
Long beach, with mixture of mud and sand. It's the beach that those who bought the boat tickets to the cave entry has to get on the boat here. We were there before nood and it is very hot and humid. There's several restaurant along the beach. During late afternoon, when the sun is down, lots of local and young kids in the area come out to play along the beach
Nice beach area with a relaxed vibe. The water isn’t the cleanest, but there are several restaurants nearby, and boats are available to visit other beaches and caves, which makes the trip worthwhile.

Tips for Visiting Beaches
Go Early for Empty Sand
Even the busiest beaches are nearly deserted before 9 AM. A sunrise walk is the best hour of the day on the sand, and you'll beat the heat for a morning swim.
Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Many Thai marine parks ban chemical sunscreens that damage coral. Bring reef-safe (mineral/zinc-based) sunscreen from home — it's harder to find and pricier in Thailand.
