Why go, and how to do it well

Come here if you want a beach day with nothing sold to you. This is the long, pine-backed stretch next to the military base south of central Hua Hin, and the trees are the whole point, with real shade, a sea breeze through them, and sand clean enough to walk barefoot without watching your feet. The water is calm with a small break, which makes it easy on kids. Crowds skew Thai families, and even on a busy day the beach is big enough to feel half empty.

Chairs, umbrellas and a small table go for around 100 baht as a set, and toilets and showers run about 10 baht. There are a couple of food halls and a few shops nearby, so you don't need to pack much. Nightlife is not the story here, and one reviewer hit a bad day of dead fish washed up on a high tide, so it isn't spotless every single day. Weekends and Thai public holidays fill the good spots under the pines early.

Excellent place and great location. It was belong to the Army. We were stayed at Seapine hotel on Suan Son Beach. The hotel will separate zones, all have three zones. Zones luxury hotels will be at Building one, here will be very luxury and private with sea views. Zones public will be zone houses that some families staying in the same house or big family stay together and this zone also opens for all every can going for one day trip. Will have small Asian food court and public toilet with bathroom. Here will have the train station at the front of the hotel that easy for to travelling just for one day trip to visit. And zone three it was building two, we were stayed here at building two because building two be closed to golf court and we loved to play golf. Very good location and a good spot. Quiet place, private beach. We stayed here for 4 nights very much enjoy and have a great time. Very comfortable room and place. Excellent service and friendly staffs. Here also have golf course for you to enjoy. Have swimming pool. Here have gym, Have bar beer on the beach for to drink and enjoy life on the beach. Have pool for to enjoy at the Seapine hotel. Have restaurants and bar at the Seapine golf course and at the Seapine hotel. All complete in here. Every days we walk on the beach from the mountains to the mountains probably two or three kilometres for to exercise and get the fresh air. Very nice here and excellent place and location.

This is also called Army Beach because it is adjacent to the Army Base. We rented a couple of deck chairs (surprisingly comfortable), umbrella and small table for ฿100. The beach is quite nice, not crowded. A nearby food court provides food and refreshments. There's also stalls selling clothing, and tourist tatt. The beach is a 10-15 minute motorbike ride from Takiab. Well worth a visit.

A very calm and almost empty beach with a special atmosphere. Time feels slower here. When I was standing by the water, I looked at my phone — it was 22:23 here and already 23:23 in the next city. Repeating numbers, like a reminder of movement and change. Sometimes in quiet places like this, the sea speaks to you through small signs.

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.
