Pattaya Beach

Pattaya Beach is situated along the central city in close proximity to shopping, hotels and bars. The over-abundance of jet-skis and speedboats has contributed to the pollution of the water along the beach, as has the practice of dumping sewage in the ocean. The section of beach from Central Road (Pattaya Klang) south to the harbor is adjacent to the core of Pattaya's abundant nightlife area, hence it is less family-oriented than the North Pattaya, Na Klua and Jomtien beaches. Elderly foreign men walk hand in hand with young Thai ladies here by the hundreds or even thousands.

Most sections of the beach are covered by rented deckchairs run by local beverage vendors during daylight hours.
