Khao Lak South Beach
Khao Lak South Beach is located at the Southern end of the Khao Lak Lamru National park. With a length of about 2km it is the shortest of Khao Lak’s‚ beaches. Khao Lak South Beach is the one with the most tropical atmosphere, located in the middle of large granite rocks, tall shady casuarina trees and other huge tropical flora and fauna. It is nestled beneath the mountains and National Park and is idea for a quieter beach spot; not many tourists walk along here, but you can still find the odd massage hut to give you a ‘Head, Neck and Shoulders’ after your stroll along the sand. The only hotels located here are the Merlin Hotel, Emerald Hotel, Diamond Hotel and The Briza Hotel. This is a small, but perfectly adequate, tourist area. It has all necessary amentities to hand: two ATMs, a currency exchange desk, a few small supermarkets, souvenir shops, opticians, tailors and a dozen or so restaurants and bars.
