Phra Ae Beach

Phra Ae Beach, also known as Long Beach, is a beautiful and expansive coastline known for its refreshing and clear water. The beach is characterized by its large space from land to shore, making it a perfect spot to enjoy the sunset. The beach's natural characteristics include warm and inviting water, a variety of marine life such as needlefish and sea cucumbers, and a variety of birds. The sand is soft, and the water is calm and deep, making it perfect for swimming.

The beach is equipped with several amenities. There are plenty of places along the shore to grab a drink or a bite to eat. However, it is recommended to bring a beach umbrella as shade can be hard to find. The beach also has parking lots and public services available for visitors.

Despite its popularity, Phra Ae Beach is never too crowded, even during the high season. There is always plenty of room to set down a towel and enjoy the sand and water. The beach also serves as a great base for day trips, with boats leaving from the south end of Phra Ae to destinations such as Ko Rok, the 4 islands southeast, and Phi Phi to the northwest.

However, visitors should be aware of the potential presence of jellyfish in the water. While the species commonly found at Phra Ae Beach are not deadly, they can still sting. Despite this, the beach remains a popular spot for relaxation and enjoyment of nature's beauty.
