Our Family enjoying Khao Lak beaches. They are amazing at sunset!

1.Khao Lak Beach

This is the first beach you come to as you head over the headland, and has large rocky outcrops surrounded by white sand.

This stretch of beach is safe for swimming and a spot of snorkelling. The beach tends to be busy due to the major resorts on its shores but it is close to the action.

Some beautiful resorts take up the beachfront position on Khao Lak Beach. Check out:

  • Sensimar Khaolak Beachfront Resort
  • Khaolak Laguna Resort
  • Baan Khaolak Beach Resort
  • Suwan Palm Resort
  • Centara Seaview Resort Khao Lak
  • Khaolak Oriental Resort

2. Khuk Khak Beach

Khuk Khai Beach 2 is the next white sandy beach just past the inlet to the waterways. This beach is straight and can have a steep drop off and a mean shore break at times. But when the conditions are nice it is a magical stretch of coastline.

3. Khuk Khai Beach 2

This long stretch of beach is another beautiful section in Khao Lak to relax on and watch the day slip by.

The sunsets here are breathtaking and there are plenty of beach bars for you to try out. Most places along here offer massage, beach chairs, food and drink and maybe a hammock to relax in.

Our favourite bar along this part of the coast was 8 Fish Resturant and Bar.

8 Fish had huge swings, hammocks and beach chairs all under the shade of the trees along the foreshore. When the sun begins to set this is the place to be. You will love it!

Khuk Khak Beach also has some accommodation options available so you don’t need to travel far to visit a top beach!

4. Memories Beach

Memories beach is at the end of the long stretch of Khuk Khak beach just before the Pakarang Cape headland.

Getting here is a little tricky, the road in is all dirt and sand so be careful on a scooter.

Memories Beach is known as a surfers beach, here you can rent surfboards and take lessons. Find out prices here!

The beach is covered in soft white sand and tapers out gently, waves aren’t usually very powerful so are great for learning on. The shape isn’t great and it tends to close out a bit so just be warned.

This beach is situated around the Pakarang Cape and is a little bit of a secret!

We were blown away by its beauty. Perfect white sand that almost equals Whitehaven Beach in Australia.
