About Sichon Beach
Sichon Beach is a long sandy beach on the Gulf of Thailand in Sichon District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, about 60 km north of Nakhon Si Thammarat city. It is known for its wide, relatively quiet shoreline, calm clear water, views of offshore islands, and traditional fishing village atmosphere. The beach is less developed than major tourist beaches and is valued for its natural scenery and relaxed coastal setting.
Visitors guide

The beach is lined with casuarina trees, fishing boats, and small local restaurants and resorts. Areas are open for walking, sunbathing and swimming. The surroundings are low-key with fishing villages, seafood stalls and mountain views inland, offering a quiet, local beach experience rather than a highly commercial resort area.
