Tall coconut palms shade the promenade
which borders the long curving sweep of beach. Ocean World
amusement park is located on the road which runs behind
the beach and features several swimming pools, slides and
a small roller coaster. Local vendors sell fruit, seafood
and snacks, such as squid, mussels and spicy steamed fish
cakes, and rent chairs, multicolored umbrellas and other
beach paraphernalia. Shower facilities are available. Inexpensive
guesthouses, bungalows and a small resort cater to those
who choose to stay more than one day.
A marine aquarium and museum on the campus of Srinakharinwirot
University, on the road between the highway and the beach,
has exhibits on the marine environment and the aquatic species
native to the waters of the Gulf of Thailand.
