Jomtien Beach, Pattaya
Jomtien lies immediately south of Pattaya over Khao Phra Tamnak, and is the calmer half of the resort. Its beach runs for around six kilometres - far longer and considerably less crowded than Pattaya Beach - with a shaded promenade of casuarinas and a road of low-rise restaurants and condominiums behind.
The water is generally cleaner than at the northern end of the bay and the beach is used more by families and long-stay residents than by the nightlife crowd. Watersports operate along the middle section; the far southern end is quiet.
A night market sets up on the beach road, and the Bali Hai pier for the island ferries is a few minutes back over the hill.
