About White Sand Beach
White Sand Beach is a long sandy beach in Khuk Khak Subdistrict, Takua Pa District, part of the Khao Lak coastline in Phang Nga Province, Thailand. Located between Nang Thong Beach to the south and Bang Niang Beach to the north, it is known for its light-colored sand, calm waters in dry season, and resort-lined shore. The beach is a central visitor area of Khao Lak for swimming, walking and sunset viewing.

The beach is open and relatively quiet compared to central Khao Lak beaches, with clear water, gentle waves in high season, and views of the Andaman Sea.
