Hat Chao Samran, Public beach in Phetchaburi Province, Thailand.
Hat Chao Samran is a public beach in Phetchaburi Province that stretches along the eastern coast of the Gulf of Thailand. The water is calm with gentle waves, the shallow coastal zone is covered with light-colored sand, and the surroundings feel undeveloped and natural.
Fishing communities have used this coastal area since the early 20th century as an important location for their daily work. The area has maintained its role as a local fishing center and remains a core of the region's fishing economy.
Families gather here especially during holidays to share freshly grilled fish and spend time together by the water. The local community uses the beach for everyday activities like fish sales and as a meeting point for neighbors.
The beach is accessible via Highway 4028 and features designated parking areas and public facilities along the shoreline. Visitors should pay attention to local conditions, especially tides and seasons, to plan the best time for a visit.
At low tide, natural sand patterns and formations appear on the beach, changing with the lunar cycle. These temporary structures form through water movement and create a slightly different view with each visit.
