Jomtien Beach

Jomtien Beach is a 6-kilometre sandy beach located south of central Pattaya in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province, Thailand. Separated from Pattaya Beach by Phra Tamnak Hill, it is known as a quieter, family-oriented resort beach with a wide shoreline, palm-lined promenade and high-rise condominiums. The beach is notable for water sports, beachfront dining and sunset views over the Gulf of Thailand, serving as a popular residential and tourist area.

Visitors can expect a long, straight sandy beachfront along the Gulf of Thailand with a paved beach road and promenade lined with hotels, condominiums, restaurants and shops. The beach area has sections with sun loungers and umbrellas for rent, vendors selling food and drinks, and open areas for swimming and water sports such as jet skiing, parasailing and windsurfing. The northern end near Phra Tamnak Hill is more developed, while the southern end toward Na Jomtien is quieter.

Jomtien Beach developed from a quiet fishing and coastal area into a major resort beach from the 1970s-1980s as Pattaya expanded as a seaside resort. Separated from Pattaya Beach by Phra Tamnak Hill, it grew with condominium and hotel development to accommodate domestic and international tourism and long-stay residents.

The beach serves as a recreational and community space for residents and visitors, with beachfront markets, seafood restaurants and local festivals. It reflects Pattaya's evolution as a coastal resort city and remains a family-oriented beach area within the Pattaya urban area.
