Ao Prachuap

Ao Prachuap is a large crescent-shaped bay forming the waterfront of Prachuap Khiri Khan town in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. Framed by Khao Chong Krachok to the north and Khao Lom Muak to the south, the bay features a long sandy beach and seafront promenade. It is notable for its calm waters, views of offshore islands, fishing boats, and proximity to the town centre, making it a central scenic and recreational area for visitors.

Visitors can expect a wide, curved sandy bay stretching along the town centre with a paved seafront promenade, views of limestone hills at both ends and small islands in the Gulf of Thailand. The beach is lined with fishing boats, seafood restaurants and seating areas. The area is suitable for walking, cycling, photography and relaxing by the sea, with easy access to nearby viewpoints and temples. The atmosphere is calm and local, reflecting a working fishing town rather than a resort development.
