Phra Ae Beach

This beach also known as the Long Beach is great for families or couples who wants a less touristy kind of place. The vibe is very chill. The waves were quite a bit rough but that is given considering it is like that for the Western coast generally. Keep it mind The water goes steep very quickly after you get in. Went there about 12pm. The tide was quite low then. The tide gets a lot more higher by 5pm.

Fine soft sand, smooth entry into the water, but even at low tide there is enough depth for swimming. If you will go to the middle of the beach there are no stones or corals in the water at all. The colour of water is mind blowing🤪🫠

We stayed a week at a beach resort here. Beautiful sunsets. Nice long sandy beach. The public park is being created here. Squatters are here for now. Water is calm, but it has jellyfish to look out for. Big ones and small ones. I chose not to snorkel after encountering them.

Phra Ae Beach was a beautiful beach to visit for refreshing and clear water. Spent four days and it was never crowded. You could always find a spot to set your towel down. There are plenty of restaurants and bars if you get hungry, and/or need an ice cold beverage. You do t have to worry about much or any boats, there were needlefish swimming around, a few sea cucumbers, and some pretty birds flying around. It’s nice to find a clean beach, no loud music, just the sounds of the gentle waves, and the waters temperature was warm and inviting. It’s also an easy beach or area to use as a base to talk to other beaches. I post quiet corners and cultural highlights like this one on Instagram: @postcardsandcoordinates

Beautiful beach and lots of areas for shade if needed. We parked at the public park and this is a short walk to beach. Beware of some rocks in the water and jellyfish. Wouldn’t really recommend swimming here. Go to Beautiful beach to swim.

A great and long beach to walk, chill, and watch beautiful sunsets. I went to snorkel around sunset time and had a good time until jellyfish showed up. They both touched me lightly so I just came back to the shore to not risk it. If you want to snorkel, just be mindful of jellyfish and you will have a good time. The water is clear and the beach is clean too.

Great beach to relax and enjoy a few quiet days. It's also a great base for day trips (specially to Ko Rok and the 4 islands south east as well as Phi Phi to the north west), as the boats leave from the south end of Phra Ae. The water is great and the beach is long enough to accommodate everyone without getting cramped. Even in high season there is lots of space available to enjoy the sand and the water by yourself. I'm only taking one star because we crossed a couple of jellyfish during our stay, so you can't have the ultimate relax in the water due to being conscious of the danger they pose while having a swim. The ones we saw were reddish bells and aren't deadly (those are the blue box ones), but they sting nonetheless. Last but not least, it's a beautiful beach to enjoy sunsets and moon rises too!!

Beautiful and clean beach!
