Khanom Beach

Khanom Beach is a long sandy beach in Khanom District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, on Thailand's southeastern Gulf coast. Stretching about nine kilometers along the Gulf of Thailand, it is known for its quiet atmosphere, clean sand, calm waters and views of offshore islands and limestone hills. The beach is closely associated with pink dolphin watching tours and retains a traditional fishing village character, offering a more tranquil alternative to busier southern beaches.

Visitors can expect a long, wide stretch of light sand bordered by calm, shallow waters of the Gulf of Thailand, backed by coconut palms, fishing villages and low limestone hills. The beach is generally quiet and uncrowded with scattered resorts, seafood restaurants and small shops. Areas are suitable for walking, swimming and sunbathing, with boat piers offering pink dolphin watching tours to nearby islands. Sunrise views over the sea and views of Ko Nui are characteristic.

Khanom Beach reflects the traditional coastal fishing culture of Khanom District, with small fishing villages, seafood traditions and local boat operations. The area is culturally associated with the pink dolphins of Khanom Bay, which are considered a local symbol and attraction for the community.
