About Samae Beach
Samae Beach (Hat Samae) is a 700-meter white-sand beach on the southwestern coast of Ko Lan Island, off Pattaya in Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province. Known for clear turquoise water, fine sand and a relatively quiet atmosphere compared to Tawaen Beach, it is a popular day-trip destination from Pattaya. The beach offers swimming, sunbathing and water sports with beachfront restaurants and facilities.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a curved bay of fine white sand and clear blue-green water backed by low hills and trees. The beach is lined with sun loungers and umbrellas, small restaurants and food stalls. The sea is generally calm for swimming and wading, with areas for jet-skiing, banana boating and snorkeling. Access is via a short road from the island piers, with views of nearby islands and Pattaya coastline on the boat crossing.
